About me and my therapy practice

I understand how daunting it can be to not only reach out for help but to find the right therapist to help you. I believe the therapeutic relationship is key to a successful outcome of therapy.

I offer a professional and confidential counselling service dealing with a wide range of problems. As an integrative counsellor I work with different therapeutic models (see below), this enables me to tailor the approach to your specific needs as I understand that everyone is unique and one size doesn't fit all.

The core therapeutic models I work with are :-

1. Person Centered

Using the core conditions of person centred theory, which are empathy, congruence and being non-judgemental, I facilitate you to explore and utilise your own strengths and personal identity.

2. CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

This is a goal- oriented and practical approach to problem solving. The goal is to change patterns of thinking or behaviour that are behind a person’s difficulties and so change the way they feel.

3. Psychodynamic

The goals of psychodynamic approach are a person’s self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behaviour.

Practice description

I am a BACP registered and accredited counsellor. My experience includes working in private practice, working as an independent counsellor for Mind and many years spent working as a bereavement counsellor at a NHS Psychological Support Service. I’m also a registered BUPA therapist.

I value individual difference, honesty, integrity, finding your own path, standing out from the crowd, connection and relationship. I strongly believe people can be empowered to find their own answers. I know that I am not a fixer and I don’t have all the answers, but I can help you address your problems in a more positive way by helping you to clarify the issue, explore options, develop strategies and increase self-awareness. If you feel the opinions of others has become a reference point of your self-worth, I can help you to start to listen to your own voice again.

I can help with a range of common life problems such as depression, anxiety, low mood, loss, self-esteem, stress, addiction, relationship issues or feeling stuck.

Registered & Accredited Counsellor with the BACP

BUPA Registered Counsellor

Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling
