Welcome to my profile,

I work as an integrative psychotherapist at Horton House in the centre of Liverpool and worldwide online. Previously, I worked for five years as a psychotherapist in the NHS and for ten years as the leading therapist in a private counselling and psychotherapist service in the Midlands which I had founded and developed. I provide a warm, non-judgemental, safe and professional space. As I am not part of a service like the NHS, I can guarantee complete confidentiality.

My basic training as a psychotherapist was a MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy which focused on the integration of cognitive-behavioural, attachment-focused and person-centred approaches to best meet clients' individual needs. Following I underwent extensive further training in:

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF)

Compassion-focused Therapy (CFT)

Eye movement desensitization and retrocession (EMDR)

Brainspotting

Trauma and Tension Release Exercises (TRE)

Mindfulness and body-centred meditation

I have personal experience of the impact of childhood trauma on ones psyche and emotional well-being, and of how psychotherapy can help to heal these wounds. I believe that having lived experience as well as professional expertise helps me to relate to clients on a deep level and with a sensitivity that I would have otherwise not had.

People reach out to me for various reasons. Many seek support for depression and/ or anxiety, unprocessed trauma, low self-esteem, self-blame/-shame/-distrust/-dislike/- neglect, challenges around a particular life situation or relationship, or emotional issues arising from neurodivergence.

Setting up an appointment with me is straightforward. Just drop me an email or give me a call and we can arrange to meet for an introductory session. 

During initial sessions, we explore your reasons for contacting me and together create a plan for helping you that feels right for you. In this first session, you might start to feel immediately a little better for having taken action towards change and knowing that you no longer need to deal with this on your own but will receive support with this.
