About me
I am a professionally qualified and accredited counsellor and psychotherapist. I provide therapy on a short-term and long-term basis in an oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Sessions take place in a caring and professional environment that is sufficiently challenging to effect change. Working together, we can help you better understand yourself, overcome obstacles in your life, and reach your goals.
Expertise
I work with people on a wide range of issues. My expertise lies in the areas of social anxiety, low self-esteem and ADHD.
Approach to counselling/psychotherapy
My training in Counselling Psychology included all the major therapy approaches. All the methods I use are evidence-based. To this end, I incorporate tools to change the thoughts and behaviours that keep you stuck. I use Schema Therapy, which can help you change lifelong self-defeating patterns. I draw on Compassion-Focused Therapy, which can enable you to overcome self-criticism and shame. The way I work makes use of Positive Psychology and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches can help you focus on your strengths and find solutions.
I offer a non-judgemental approach, without discrimination on such grounds as sex, race, religion, class, nationality, disability and sexual orientation.
