At times, we can all struggle with challenging emotions such as depression, anxiety and stress. Counselling psychology can assist in overcoming your concerns and help you lead a more balanced and healthy life. Whether you are dealing with loss, lack of confidence, relationship difficulties, or just feeling stuck, I can support you to regain your inner strength and wellbeing.
I work in an integrative way, seeing individuals holistically and draw on various elements of different therapy models in order to address your specific difficulties. A variety of therapeutic approaches are incorporated such as Relational, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy.

Services
I have worked professionally with individuals, couples and groups since 2004. I have experience working for the NHS, mental health organisations such as Mind, student-counselling services, Headway, a brain injury charity, and others. My particular areas of interest are mental health and brain injury, more specifically: personal traumas, relational and attachment issues; surviving and coping with the effects of brain injuries.
Is it for you? Sometimes circumstances in life make you feel down and unhappy. We all go through different stages in our lives and learn how to cope and try to move forward. Deciding to seek therapy is not an easy step, requiring you to be open about private matters, fearing that others may see you as needy or damaged.
Below you can find a brief description of some therapeutic approaches I employ in my work. Regardless of what type of therapy we choose, the most important thing is that you feel that therapy is useful and helpful to you and that you feel safe and supported within thistherapeutic alliance. This model is based on psychodynamic, humanistic and integrative traditions theories, research and practice.
Your wellbeing is of prime importance for me. The support I offer is confidential although there are limits to this in accordance with BPS professional codes of conduct. As part of my profession, I may discuss aspects of my work with a professional supervisor, although individuals are always anonymised.
