About Me
About Me and My Therapy Practice
I am a fully qualified, BACP registered (MBACP) integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, using a psychodynamic and person centred approach. My expertise is working with adults and young people, ages 16 - 20, including university students. I am also a registered Anxiety UK therapist.
I have a background in education, spanning over ten years. I have also practiced as a counsellor in further education and sixth form colleges. Previously I have lectured and supervised on different counselling courses. I have attended and completed various training events, such as self-harm, exam stress, low self esteem, bereavement, anxiety, suicide, trauma and depression.
My Integrative Approach
As an integrative therapist I will draw on different theories and skills and apply what is best suited to you and your needs. Therapy is a bit like a structured conversation where you can speak freely about your life without judgement. I am open and honest in relation to all aspects of my work with you. I aim to foster a confidential, non-judgemental and empathetic space, supporting you with the issues you are experiencing.
Understanding Your Needs
I understand the reason you are seeking counselling may not be in relation to any specific issue. For example, you may want a safe and confidential space to explore your feelings or seek to grow as a person. It is my wish that our sessions together can help you to understand yourself better and provide greater insight and awareness of your presenting issues or life experience.
