About me and my therapy practice

I work from from both a client centred perspective and have a Level 5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I like to draw on approaches which are best suited to the individual. My aim is to support the client whilst working towards greater personal understanding. I believe the relationship developed is key to successful exploration and change. I am also able to use creative means to explore issues with clients.

I have experience working with:

- generalised anxiety

- depression

- bereavement and loss

- relationship issues

- workplace related issues

- family issues

- low confidence/self-esteem

- image issues

- carer support

- working with elderly clients experiencing loneliness and life change

- bullying

- abuse (emotional, sexual and physical)

- pregnancy related issues (miscarriage, loss late in pregnancy)

- post natal depression

- living with terminal illness

- emotional eating issues

as well as others highlighted below.

I am committed to my own personal and professional development, having also attained a  Level 5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as well as gaining my Certificate in Supervision from York St John University.

I also work with young people age 13+ who have issues with low self-esteem, struggle to feel they 'fit in' to their surroundings and/or who are having difficulty at home.  I have found that offering a safe environment to express fears and anxieties in a non-judgemental relationship can lead to greater understanding of where they are on their own journey.
