Hello, and well done for taking the first step. Reaching out for support is often the hardest part. I can offer an initial 15 min call, if requested, to see if I am the right fit for you. I am here to offer kindness, compassion, and sensitivity to whatever you may bring. As an HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist, I have experience supporting individuals with a wide range of psychological difficulties across both NHS and private settings. I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including relational, psychodynamic, person-centred, CBT, compassion-focused therapies, and I am trained in EMDR for complex trauma.
I tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs and goals, drawing from a range of therapeutic models rather than following a rigid framework. My priority is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I often work with individuals navigating significant life transitions or the impact of past experiences.
I am deeply committed to working authentically and compassionately, ensuring that therapy remains a collaborative and empowering process where you feel valued and supported throughout. helping make sense of their story and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
