Hello and Welcome!

​

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist registered to practice with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Psychological Society (BPS) and I am a member of EMDR UK.

 

I have extensive experience of working with a wide range of mental health difficulties. I am passionate about improving mental health and working alongside my clients to understand and build awareness to how they are feeling and what they are experiencing, to help them move forward.
 

I have a lot of clients who attend therapy with the knowledge of what brings them to sessions and what they want to work through, however I equally have a number of clients, for whom the reason for what they are feeling or experiencing is unclear and this is also ok. This just means that we do the exploratory work together, to make sense of the thoughts and feelings we have, where they might have stemmed from and how we can manage them going forward so that they do not feel so impactful.

​

I am a firm believer that there is not a one size fits all approach to therapy. I take an integrative approach, drawing upon various models of therapy to work towards meeting your needs. I hold the belief that you are the expert on your life and my role within our sessions, is to help you understand and work through the difficulties you are experiencing. Therapy is not an easy undertaking and can take a tremendous amount of courage to take the first step of making an appointment, a feat which is not lost on me. There may be times on your journey through therapy, where things feel worse before they feel better and this is ok. This can be a natural part of therapy and together, we will work through these difficult times to enable you to move forward.

​

I provide clinical supervision to Doctoral students and other mental health providers. I am an approved provider for Aviva, AXA PPP, BUPA, Healix Healthcare, Vitality Health and WPA.

​

I hope to be able to join you and help facilitate your journey towards better mental health.
