About me
I am an experienced and accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, registered with the BACP and UKCP.
In my practice I offer a supportive space in which we can work together to nurture your sense of self, and develop a deeper understanding of the difficulties you are facing. I offer help to individuals facing a wide range of life challenges and searching for ways to identify and make the changes in life they desire. My approach focusses on exploring the way you see the world, building your insight into how your past might be effective in your present, and discovering what it is you truly want for your self and your future.
Sometimes, the challenges or traumas of our past can cause us to adapt in ways which, though resourceful and necessary to begin with, might later become unhelpful or limiting. Counselling can help you recognise where this may be happening for you, and to explore how you might move forward.
I hold two masters level trainings in therapeutic support, including an MSc in psychotherapy. My trainings allow me to integrate a variety of therapeutic theory and principles together with my primarily psychodynamic modality, to enhance and tailor my approach to working with you as an individual. I'm always seeking to find the best approach for the person that I am working with, believing the time we spend together should work hard for you, and for your future. To me this is about ensuring you feel safe enough to share anything you might wish to, and to support you in finding a way forward from where you might feel stuck.
I have practice experience of working with people of all ages, in schools, care homes, charitable settings and private practice. I have also worked as researcher and consultant on mental health initiatives including the Conservation for Wellbeing project. Currently, I work as a psychological therapist at the Fire Fighters Charity as well as in private practice in West Sussex.
