I am an humanistic integrative counsellor and come with thirty years’ experience of working with people of all ages and backgrounds in higher education settings and social justice environments.
As we move through our journey in life, from young adulthood, through middle years and into eldership, we face continually changing joys and challenges. Coming into counselling with me at any of these stages will involve us exploring your unique path in life and helping you find ways to embrace that uniqueness more completely. My own journey has involved human rights awareness and mediating cultural inequality issues. I have worked with individuals, groups and communities to foster healing and positive change.

I am a fully-qualified humanistic psychotherapist, trained at City University and at Spectrum, a Centre for Humanistic Psychotherapy.
I believe that we can create the life we would like, and therapy can help us to form what we'd like for ourselves. I work in a confidential one to one setting, to build a trusting relationship. I will listen and empathise so we can develop what you would like for yourself and your wider relationships, so you can take charge over your experience. I've been working as a therapist for the last 6 years.

As an integrative therapist I have experience in working with various forms of therapy including psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behavioural amongst others.
I am a qualified BACP registered counsellor and clinical supervisor. My work focusses on enabling people to find more confidence , joy and clarity and to help them create the life they want to live - whatever that looks like for them. We lived in a highly stressful times and it can be very easy to become anxious and depressed which without help can lead to feelings of helplessness and despair. Therapy offers a safe space to explore those difficult feelings, and often bringing those dark thoughts into the light can bring some relief.

Talking through problems is a good thing to do, but sometimes we know that those closest to us aren’t necessarily the easiest or best to hold all that we are thinking and feeling. Therapy can fill that space within a context of safety, trust and empathy. I am a qualified integrative therapist with experience of working with people from a diverse range of backgrounds. For me, the key is in ensuring that you feel heard and understood so that in turn, you can discern the right steps forward that you want to make in your own life.

How does humanistic therapy work?

One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualisation and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.

Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?

Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioural therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.

How long does humanistic therapy last?

The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is humanistic therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
