Please meet our team
I am an Integrative Counsellor, registered with the BACP, who has experience working therapeutically with people in the NHS, schools, charity organisations, and private practice. As a therapist, I am warm and compassionate and value building an engaged therapeutic relationship which supports people to gain greater self-awareness and explore choices.
I have a Degree in Psychology, a Master’s Degree in Counselling, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Psychology (Counselling). I am trained in a variety of approaches to therapy and have worked extensively with people experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, emotional eating behaviours, poor self-esteem, and low confidence. Additionally, I have worked as part of the Psychology team in the NHS offering assessments and psychological therapy to people living with obesity. This included specialising in compassion-focused therapy. I have also worked in charity organisations offering solution-focused and cognitive-behavioural therapy to young people struggling with self-harming behaviours.
Working intuitively and listening to where people are in their current life circumstances, also their hopes for therapy, I adapt my approach to each individual. My practice is also influenced by my background in mindfulness and Buddhist psychology. I have practiced meditation with Buddhist communities in the UK and overseas. Whilst I attend meditation retreats regularly, I also take more of an open approach to spirituality, aligning mostly with Christianity and Buddhism. I welcome people from all faiths and spiritual backgrounds, and from none.
