I'm a counselling psychologist: a professional trained to doctoral level in multiple schools of psychotherapy (existential, CBT, psychodynamic and person-centred). This lets me listen differently, and tailor a therapy to you. I offer a safe, straightforward, warm, and analytical space. Clients often come to me with problems that haven't responded to previous treatments or therapy. I like to solve these problems alongside you, as we notice your own unique way of being and seeing things. This approach is called 'phenomenological', because it works by understanding the phenomena of your inner life from your point of view.
This is also what makes the recovery meaningful and sustainable for you: it is yours. Therapy is a radical and creative art, brave in its honesty and generous with its energy. You can take the skills home with you.
My clinical experience is in NHS, bereavement & community services. I also teach psychotherapy, and I work with clients of all kinds in my private practice. If you're struggling at the moment, I'm experienced and here to help. I will listen, I will care, I will keep it confidential, and I will never judge.
