About me and my therapy practice
I work online with individuals, for both long and short term fixed periods (min 6 weeks), as well as open ended work.
Contact me by email and I will arrange a time with you to have an initial telephone chat, where we can introduce ourselves, and cover what brings you to therapy and what you hope to get from it.
It is okay at this point if you do not have a clear idea. You are welcome to ask questions that you may have, and if we agree to work together we will confirm arrangements for a first session.
Practice description
I provide a safe and confidential space for my clients to talk and explore the challenges they are facing in their lives and to make meaning of feelings, thoughts and beliefs they may be have. In some situations, this may mean exploring past events and trauma, and how it could be impacting life today and the relationship you have with yourself and with those around you.
You may have a goal or outcome you'd like to achieve but often you may not and that is okay.
I have experience working with a diverse range of clients from different backgrounds and I positively support and work with LGBTQ+ clients.
In my practice, I work with a relational and integrative framework, drawing on humanistic, and psychodynamic approaches. This means I can adapt my approach to best suit a client's personal needs, respecting their individuality, experience, and their capacity to decide and choose their own destiny. It also means that our relationship is important to your therapy as we co-create a space that can bring about change.
I have over two decades of experience working in global corporate organisations and have trained in Organisational Psychology, Coaching and Mentoring.
