About me and my therapy practice
I am a fully qualified Integrative Psychotherapist, with a deep love of my therapeutic work. After working for 12 years in the mental health sector I have shared countless journeys with clients from an array of backgrounds, and build honest an authentic relationships with all of my clients. I bring personality and warmth to everything I do and strive to leave you feeling supported and cared for.
I am experienced in working with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and low self-esteem. My professional background has been in working with Autistic young adults with non-verbal communication and also in the field of Chronic health conditions such as Fibro, ME, CFS etc.
My approach combines different techniques associated with Person Centred Therapy and Transactional Analysis. I focus on the current difficulties a person is experiencing and listen to your problems. Through this, I can support you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your difficulties.
I am particularly interested in working with clients with Chronic Illnesses, such as Fibromyalgia and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, with the approach to supporting clients with the debilitating and isolating effects that illnesses such as these can have on a person’s wellbeing and identity. My professional background has been in working with Autistic young adults with non-verbal communication and I continue to work in this field alongside my work as a Therapist.

Practice description
I offer a private, confidential service committed to facilitating your journey to better mental health. I can provide a safe, welcoming, confidential space which contributes to supporting you through your difficulties. My integrative approach to therapy which involves a combination of several therapeutic techniques associated with Humanistic approaches.
The approach used, focuses on the relationship between you and your therapist (the therapeutic relationship), as this is often an avenue into understanding your difficulties and gaining an in depth understanding of who you are as an individual.
This approach requires me to take time to listen to you and your difficulties and strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship between you, in order to build trust and support.

My objective is for us to get to know each other and build our relationship so that you can trust me as a safe place to share what's on your mind.

About me and my therapy practice
I hope you’ve found the right place for you. It’s likely you’ve been a long time of searching. As the Director of Serenity I both manage and run the organisation Nationwide, but also reserve a significant portion of time to working specifically with those who are looking for therapy for long term & chronic health conditions. Particularly therapy for ME patients (Myalgic Encephalemyelitis), therapy for Chronic Fatigue patients, and other autoimmune disorder patients.
I have been working and researching this field for the last 10 years after having a family member become housebound with ME. Having conducted several research projects on the experience of Chronic Health patients and their experience of mental health support, I endeavour to provide a inclusive and flexible, person centred approach to supporting individuals manage and deal with the trauma and loss associated with such conditions.
All sessions are a combination of Online and where necessary, open google docs where you can answer explore work at a time that is suitable for you. Sessions are ideally once per week but, I am happy to work with your recovery time to make the experience as unintrusive on your symptoms as possible.
I would like to state at this point that I do not use CBT therapy in my approach and work in a holistic, person centred way that integrates all aspects of your wellbeing, including your physical symptoms as a contributing factor to your trauma and mental distress.
