About me
I am an integrative therapist, which means that I trained in the main traditions of psychotherapy. Whilst my work draws from all of them, I am able to adapt my approach to support you towards making change.
I am guided by the following principles:
I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and I try to understand your particular and unique experience as you live it.
I think that past experiences can impact upon the present, and I work to make meaningful connections between the two.
I am interested in how wider systems such as our families, communities and social and political networks inflect our emotional responses.
I believe that change is only possible where there is a trusting therapeutic relationship. So I do my best to create a space where you can feel heard and known in all aspects of yourself.
I trained at the Minster Centre in London and hold a postgraduate diploma in integrative counselling and psychotherapy. I have worked in charitable and NHS settings spanning services specialising in suicide, women’s issues, bereavement and acute & complex mental health presentations.
I hold an enhanced DBS certificate, and am fully insured.
