About me
I believe we all have the ability to grow and change but along the way, for a number of reasons, we can get stuck or fixed in patterns which limit that growth. My approach focuses on relationships, as that’s what I believe everything comes down to. Our problems, patterns, hurt and pain are created in relationship, and it’s only from relationship that these things can be healed and changed.
You as a person are at the centre of the work, and together we will explore the difficulties you are facing so you can better understand your feelings and emotions, where they come from and their purpose. Along the way we will explore and experiment with new ways of being so you can take what you find in the therapy room into your everyday life and have more choice and practical impact on your life.
Therapeutically I have experience in many different areas, these include (but are not limited to); family and relationships, anxiety and depression, self esteem, trauma, anger, substance use, shame, loss, grief and separation, sexuality, race and gender.
I am registered member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and have a certificate in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling. I am currently in the final year of a 5 year masters at Metanoia Institute, one of the leading clinical and academic institutions for psychotherapy in the UK.
On our first meeting we will explore what has brought you to therapy and how you hope it can help. This is also a good opportunity to check out if I am the right therapist for you, as this is such an important part of successful therapy.
