I understand that you invest your time, money and energy into therapy; and I want you to get the most from this investment in Yourself. I offer an integrated therapeutic approach that is tailored to your needs. By using evidence-based strategies scientifically proven to be effective in therapy I can support you in better understanding experiences that may have shaped you, but also in creating change in behaviours or thinking patterns that do not serve you.
I’m a chartered Counselling Psychologist registered with the Health Professions Council and the British Psychological Society. Over the past 15 years, I have developed my in-depth knowledge and specialist experience in mental health from working in public, voluntary and private sectors.
Approaching the idea of being a client in therapy for the first time, or again, can be an uncertain or uncomfortable place to be in. I therefore offer all prospective clients a free 15-minute telephone consultation where we can discuss any general questions that you may have about engaging in counselling with me. Please feel free to get in touch.
