I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I work with children and young people in an education setting in collaboration with their families, education staff and outside agencies. I also work with adults, 18 plus, on a one-to-one basis in the private sector.

There might be many reasons why someone may seek to support or improve their emotional wellbeing and mental health, feeling lost, bereavement, anxiety, depression, past traumas, abuse, to name a few. The process of counselling/psychotherapy within a safe and private space, offers a path, along which these difficulties can be explored, with a view to creating meaningful long-lasting life changes. My integrative approach, underpinned by humanistic, psychodynamic, intercultural and attachment theories, is employed by talking through issues. Creative and play therapy is also employed with under 18’s. Therapy is offered in a warm, caring, and approachable way that is adapted to each client’s needs.

I believe with compassion, acceptance, non-judgement, the willingness to be present, and genuineness, a good therapeutic relationship can be built to facilitate the conditions where a psychological shift can take place.

I work integratively by tailoring my approach to meet each client’s individual needs, with a focus on both humanistic (relationships) and psychodynamic (looking at the past) approaches. I work with a diverse range of clients, across a wide range of issues, my clients always remain in the driving seat in order to steer their own destiny at their own speed throughout the time that we work together. My aim is to support you throughout our therapeutic relationship to help you achieve your best possible outcome.

During our first session we will talk about your current circumstances, and how you are feeling emotionally and physically.  We will also discuss your concerns and your goals in greater depth. This assessment will inform how best we might work together. We will agree a therapeutic plan, and confirm our work alliance contract (confidentiality, safety, data protection, etc).
