I am a fully qualified and accredited psychotherapist and lecturer in Counselling & Psychotherapy. I am a PhD researcher with full registration with BACP. Through my work with clients I have developed an increasing passion in assisting and empowering people to help a vast range of issues including addiction, relationship issues, mental health concerns, sexuality and gender issues. My work has often been with clients who seek deeper psychotherapeutic reflections on their predicaments. I accompany clients in embracing their vulnerability, tackling their perfectionism, need for certainty, and black and white thinking.
I accompany clients in embracing their vulnerability, tackling their perfectionism, need for certainty, and black and white thinking. I assist clients in learning to tolerate distress and existential anxiety, accepting what’s not under their control.
I help clients find their inner authority and innate courage to make meaningful connections with people and what they value. As an integrative psychotherapist & lecturer; the therapy is tailored to your individual needs, as what fits one doesn’t always fit another. I’m experienced in Person Centred/Humanistic, Psychodynamic, and various therapy approaches.
