I am a BACP registered and accredited Counsellor, Psychotherapist, trauma therapist and EMDR practitioner. Specialising in sexual/ Domestic abuse, neglect,  traumatic events, PTSD, C-PTSD, Personality Disorders and dissociative disorders. I also work with anxiety, depression, stress, life direction and many other client difficulties. What I can offer you is the opportunity to find healing through self-exploration, providing strategies for emotional regulation & tolerance, opportunities to work through thought processes in an accepting and welcoming environment, whilst aiming to promote growth through human connection.  

As a primarily Person-Centred therapist, my work aims to help you explore and understand your internal processes; whether they be emotional and/or thought processes and the overall experience of the difficulties you are having. Processing trauma, emotional overwhelm or learned thought and behaviour patterns to promote growth and healing forms the basis of my work. Regarding trauma work, I use a 3 pronged approach couched in 3 phases: processing past experiences, current triggers, and then focus on future templating (an EMDR approach). The 3 phases are 1) safety/ stabilisation 2) trauma processing or coming to terms with the traumas 3) integration and moving forward- these phases and prongs are not entirely linear as often need to go back and forth a little depending on the situation.

My initial training was a BSC in Psychology and Counselling at the University of Roehampton.   I then continued training further at Roehampton by undertaking their 3yr part-time MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy whilst working part-time as a counsellor in a local college and for a local charity's over 18's service.

I undertook several further trainings in trauma therapy and EMDR therapy.

My Approach

I am an Integrative practitioner with a 'Person-Centred' base approach. This means that my way of working focuses on helping you to get in touch with your emotional and psychological processes, allowing you to learn the best way to navigate yourself through your situations. This is achieved through creating an empathic, non-judgemental and real relationship. The rationale behind this approach is that each individual can find the wisdom and knowledge to do what is best for them by using their inner resources and experiences- however at times may need help processing to make sense of their lives and situations. I am Integrative by, at times, adopting principles from other therapies when I feel it is necessary with a client.
