About me and my therapy practice
I am a BACP registered therapist, with a PGDip in Integrative Psychotherapy from Regent’s University, drawing from Existential, Psychodynamic and Person Centred approaches.
My personal view of therapy is that there is no single approach that works for everyone, which is why I chose to train in Integrative Psychotherapy. I work relationally, meaning that I am interested in how we relate to ourselves and others. These relationships might be from our past, or our present. Often it is both. We will seek to understand fixed behavioural and relational patterns so that new possibilities can emerge.
Before training in psychotherapy, I spent 10 years working in the music industry, first as a touring musician and then within a record label. Music was a valuable outlet and means of expression for me; I maintain a belief in its extraordinary powers of healing, communication and catharsis. When I began my own therapy journey, I discovered that therapy too had these powers. But, uniquely, it also provides the opportunity for meaning-making through dialogue with a trusted other. This is the space that I seek to create in my practice.
My work has included depression, anxiety, relationship problems, bereavement, domestic abuse, parenting, low self-esteem, perfectionism, substance abuse, loneliness, creative blocks and reaching creative potential and I am currently completing further training, a masters degree in psychotherapy.
