I am a MBACP registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. Most clients I work with are experiencing emotional or mental health challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and panic attacks, depression or anger management as a result of past abuse or rejection. They have experienced isolation, low self-esteem and, sometimes, due to their sexuality or their difference have never felt safe being themselves. I also work with clients struggling with relationships and new challenges in their life.
I help my clients with self-acceptance, how to develop resilience and to engage in healthy relationships.
My therapy is based on Gestalt, Person Centred and CBT approaches and my intervention focusses on what is happening to the clients in the present. Healing current symptoms will help them to be better equipped to understand past traumas. My aim is to support clients finding resources within self to deal with unfinished businesses and to reach happiness.
I am non-judgemental and my practice is trauma-informed, so I adjust sessions to make sure counselling feels safe and accessible for you, no matter your past experiences.
Working in collaboration we will develop a unique treatment plan to suit your individual needs and therapeutic goals. This means therapy with me will be different for each person I meet.
