About me and my therapy practice

Psychotherapy is an exciting journey, emotional and liberating, but not for the faint hearted. If you're tired of defaulting to another's standard and want to figure out your path, therapy with me can be really empowering, filled with growth, discovery and realised potential.

I do not believe that mindfulness and gratitude practice will make your life better. I believe that if you work out what feelings, thoughts and behaviours keep you stuck in unwanted places and untangle that pressure you can begin to build a more enjoyable life for yourself. Once you are living the way that suits your authenticity, you will naturally become more mindful and feel more grateful.

I will guide you to a place of calm and perspective, where you can put your past behind you, feel secure with new boundaries that you have created for yourself, and love the future that you are living.

I work predominantly with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, including having lived with undiagnosed neuro-diversity, or living with neurodiverse family members.

I am a dual registered Psychotherapist trained in Transactional Analysis but utilise many different humanistic and relational models within my practice. This means that I listen to what you bring in to the room and together we work out how to best meet your needs and expectations through the therapy.



Practice description

I provide a reflective, nurturing and challenging environment to aid you in navigating your way to becoming the person you want to be.

I won't hold you to unacceptable standards, nor will I judge you and how you get through the tough times. Instead we will focus on what you need to make the life you have reflect the person who you are.

My first session

I work online and offer a free 30 minute consultation so that you can get an idea of what it will be like using the computer for therapy.

There are no assessments as standard, but I can assess anxiety levels, depression levels and trauma exposure by using standardised forms. This is only relevant if you would like to compare these results at various points in our work together. They would be for your benefit and not for the benefit of my practice.

I do not diagnose neurodiversity, nor do I prescribe medication.

Availability

I have daytime and evening availability for supervision once a month. I am happy to work to the BACP requirements of 1.5 hours supervision a month or offer one off or additional supervision, if that is required.

I can work individually or with a group of up to 3 supervisees. Please feel free to enquire about group waiting lists and I will publish availability in 6 monthly intervals.

About me and my therapy practice

My supervisors training is person centred, NCS approved and focuses on empowering my supervisees to feel confident and competent in their practice as a therapist. I nurture and empower, whilst holding clients to the appropriate ethical and legal standards. 

I have worked using a person centred, Integrative and Transactional Analysis perspective. I am qualified in Transactional Analysis (PG-Dip) and have completed NCS endorsed training to work with Children and Young People in a person centred way.

I currently hold UKCP Registration, BACP Registration and I am looking into the BACP Accreditation process.

I have worked extensively with male clients, in schools, a prison setting and in private practice.

I work long term with my adult clients and short term with my child clients.


Practice description

If I can further flame the passion that you have ignited through your training and offer a more interactive approach to how you work then supervision will be inspiring, creative and allow you the freedom to realise your potential in an enjoyable way.

If you think my experience could benefit your perspective, I would love to be able to empower you in your own therapeutic career.

My first session

Please contact me for an informal discussion about your supervision requirements.
