Reaching out for support can feel daunting, particularly when life feels heavy, overwhelming or you just don't feel like yourself. I aim to offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where we can make sense of what you are going through together. My name is Danna and I am Consultant Clinical Psychologist, and I worked for many years in the NHS with people experiencing new or more ongoing mental health difficulties.
I draw on a range of approaches, adapted for you personally. Working together we seek to understand the challenges you are facing and how they developed. We then explore what helps you as an individual and work on the goals that are most important to you. My aim is for you to feel better and stronger, both now and for the future.
I consider it essential that you feel safe, heard and at ease. I also realise that it can be hard to hard to know what might help and confusing to choose between different approaches and therapists. So please get in touch for an informal chat to discuss your needs and hopes, find out what I offer, and see if working together feels right for you.
