About me and my therapy practice

I am an NHS trained Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, a Mindfulness and Compassion Teacher and Clinical Supervisor.  I have training and experience in a number of approaches that enables me to meet the needs of my clients in a flexible and effective way. I also support other therapists in the work they do with their clients.

I mainly work with adults and enjoy doing so with people from all backgrounds and orientations. I believe that all humans appreciate understanding, kindness and connection and wish to avoid suffering and move towards greater well-being. And even if we do not always know how or have the supportive conditions to help us do so, when those conditions are put in place, then movement towards greater well-being will naturally occur. A supportive therapeutic relationship can contribute significantly towards this happening.

I have experience helping people with many issues including: Anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and depression. Along with stress management, self-compassion, traumas, substance misuse, domestic abuse, relationship and family issues. As well as overthinking, burnout, and crisis of values and meaning. Which is often caused by critical life events (e.g. a perceived failure, illness, death, divorce, or job loss). This can link with a loss of one’s sense of coherence in life, issues of identity, self-worth, self-esteem, and questioning life’s purpose or spiritual crisis.

My additional Mindfulness and Compassion training built upon my long-term interest and practice of Mindfulness and Compassion based approaches. It enhances my professional tool kit as a therapist by allowing me to bring elements of Mindfulness and Compassion based approaches into my work where it serves clients, adding a dimension to my practice that isn't always found in other modalities. These approaches can help people meet a range of difficulties, including stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, for example, with more insightkindness and skill.

Practice description

I provide an open, kind, aware space that is accepting, empathic, safe and confidential to help you explore your life situation and yourself. Helping you bring more awareness, clarity and kindness to your experience, we can then explore what choices and options there are regarding how you relate to your inner and outer worlds and relationships, and then see what strategies you can use to help implement those choices in a way that is beneficial to you in your life.

My training in mindfulness, self-compassion and integrative psychotherapeutic counselling, enables me to weave together an approach that best suits your needs. This includes drawing from Person Centred, Psychodynamic, Existential, Relational, Cognitive, CBT, Mindfulness and Compassion based modalities and methods. Helping you meet whatever challenges you are currently facing with more clarity, kindness and resourcefulness. Empowering you to make the choices and changes you are looking to make to live a more content and fulfilling life.

Whether you are looking to make defined and definite changes in your life or are less clear about your current experience and would like a more open exploration, the style, structure and pace of the sessions follows your needs.

My first session

Our first session will give us an opportunity to get to know each other a little, find out more about your needs, what has brought you to therapy and what it is you would like us to initially look at together.

If you have had therapy before, then I would be interested to hear about your past experience, what went well or not so well, for example.

We would also talk over our working agreement, looking at things like confidentiality, ideas and expectations of therapy and practical considerations like how often we plan to meet and when, for example.

There is no need for you to share everything all at once, anything you are uncomfortable about sharing or discuss anything you don't want to. As a therapist grounded in a person centred approach, I take your lead in terms of what you want to look at and where you want to go. You are invited to share your experience and give feedback about the process whenever you choose to and during times when we review how we feel the work we are doing together is going.
