You matter. You are important. As a HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist, I understand that the decision to begin therapy can be a nerve-wracking experience, therefore I am dedicated to creating a safe space for you. I offer a confidential and non-judgemental environment for you to feel and process your emotions and experiences. I offer collaborative ways of working with a focus on the ‘here and now’ and an exploration of childhood experiences to uncover the roots of the psychological distress.
My aim is to increase psychological well-being and growth whilst teaching you the tools and techniques to better manage difficult feelings and experiences such as anxiety, depression, trauma, etc. I tailor my treatment to you and have been trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Cognitive Analytic Therapy.
Life can be overwhelming sometimes, and you may feel stuck. Thinking through these challenges in a therapeutic setting can help to manage these difficult periods and achieve greater psychological well-being. I offer confidential therapy tailored to meet your needs. I can offer a free 15-minute telephone call to answer any questions you may have.
