About me
I am a qualified Pluralistic psychotherapist, and counsellor, happy to work with you long-term to unpick difficult past issues, or short-term to help support you through a current crisis.
I work with you using Psychodynamic, Person-centred and CBT theories, tailoring my style to meet your needs and your approach to life.
I am also a qualified Hypnotherapist, for those who wish to use this approach.
All of my practices are trauma-informed.
I am a member of the BACP, NCPS as well as the NHS (National Hypnotherapy Society) and abide by their codes of ethics, I am supervised and am fully insured.
Why therapy?
Life can be overwhelming, either because you are in a crisis, or because you have been walking through life with a lack of self confidence or deep sadness you may have carried for many years.
Sometimes the difficulties are hard to place and may just be a sense of being "out- of step" with our peers or the rest of the world.
How it can help
Many of us have suffered deep or lasting trauma in our early years. This is when counselling / psychotherapy can be so useful, and where I can help you. Whether it is through unpicking elements of the past or navigating the difficult present, helping you to find hope for the future and a sense of self-compassion.
My approach
My approach is friendly, insightful and empathetic. We can go at your pace, and I will be at all times guided by what you need.
