Sometimes we need a little help to face certain problems, challenges or difficulties in life.
Psychotherapy is a talking therapy. It’s like an opening or clearing in the forest - a non-judgemental space in your life to explore experiences, to be understood, and to increase awareness of what’s going on for you, and your relationships with others. Ultimately, engaging in the process of therapy can help us to live more authentically, more fully in the present.
I‘m an integrative therapist with a doctorate in psychotherapy, and a broad training background in various other approaches (e.g. cognitive behavioural therapy, compassion focussed therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy).
I have extensive experience mostly in the NHS and private practice but also in the third sector.
I take an inclusive, non-pathologising view of gender and sexuality and recognise the broad range of gender, sexual, and relationship diversities (GSRD).
When looking for someone to work with, it’s important you feel really comfortable talking to them, and feel heard. It’s also important to see that they are properly accredited with a professional body.
I take a pluralistic perspective and have an interest in a range of different theoretical and practical ideas. I recognise the importance of evidence-based practice as well as practice-based evidence.
Most experienced therapists draw on a range of theoretical and technical ideas depending on what you’ve said you want to get out of the work.
I am registered with both the UKCP and IPTUK.
I work full-time in the NHS during the week so my availability for private work is normally in the evenings, Monday to Friday.
I work with adults 18+, individually, and either digitally (video) or face-to-face. Please note that I travel to Europe frequently so face-to-face appointments may sometimes be replaced by a digital session instead.
I am a member of Metanoia, and registered with the HIPS section of UKCP, and accredited with IPTUK. I am working towards accreditation with the BABCP.
