About me

As a Counselling Psychologist, I aim to create a secure and empathetic space for individuals and couples to explore and overcome their emotional challenges. I have a special interest in working with clients who have experienced complex trauma, anxiety, depression, workplace issues, attachment difficulties and relationship dynamics.

I am skilled in offering trauma-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Couples Therapy and I am able to draw on Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills. I take an integrative approach, making use of various therapeutic skills, according to my clients' needs, to facilitate a process of healing that helps achieve resilience and change. In so doing, I work to foster an environment where clients feel empowered to engage in deep self-exploration and implement practical strategies that promote personal growth, enhance relationships and lead to lasting psychological well-being.

In each session, I am attentive to the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship itself, which I view as a fundamental element of the healing process. I believe that a strong and authentic therapeutic relationship is key to facilitating meaningful change and often the most significant predictor of therapy outcomes.

I bring a decade of experience in diverse mental health settings such as the NHS, schools, and local councils, complemented by a strong academic background. I have expertise in psychological assessments and therapeutic interventions, which allow me the skills and confidence to work with a wide range of psychological issues affecting individuals, adults, families and couples

I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), whose code of ethics I abide by.
