'What a privilege it is to witness another’s experience and be in a position to perhaps help them make sense of it. I like practice that touches mind, body, heart and soul. In the space ‘between‘ anything can, and does, appear.'

(Finlay & Evans, 2009)

I am an experienced integrative relational therapist, I provide counselling and psychotherapy online and face to face in the West Yorkshire area.  I am a registered, experienced mental health professional, I specialise in Grief therapy - helping bereaved clients manage their loss, working with young people 16+ and working with symptoms of anxiety.

I integrate several different forms of therapy into my practice to meet the needs of my clients. Theoretical integration involves blending different theoretical frameworks and their methods; for me this includes self psychology, relational psychoanalytic theory and the concerns of existentialism.

What we learned in the past affects the way we act in the here and now, looking at beliefs founded in our history can help us better understand how and why we are experiencing difficulties in the present. Relational theory focuses on achieving empowerment and growth through interpersonal connection, the collaborative relationship between the therapist and the client supports the process of self understanding enabling individuals to move forward with their lives and reach greater understanding of themselves and others. 

I am committed to meeting the needs of the individuals I work with at emotional depth offering support, safety, reassurance and an understanding response.
