My focus is on creating a space for individuals where they can reflect on what is happening for them. As a therapist, my role is to work alongside my client in their process to exploration.

I integrate psychodynamic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural therapies in my work.  My practice is informed by a  systemic & relational approach - focusing on the whole person.

My therapy practice is about both the internal & external. A person’s experiences, the relationships they have with others and the environment they live in; these all can and do have an influence on us. There are times however, that the spaces we inhabit may feel oppressive and cause us stress or pain – other times, things may just not ‘feel right’.

Whatever your experience, I will work with you to find clarity. The focus of therapy is you.  The approach I take is unique to each client and will grow and change as we build a relationship of trust which is key to facilitate the exploration of what matters to you.  

I work with clients to help them to develop their own awareness about what maybe impacting them or causing them unease.

Therapy is a place where you can set aside the armor that you may have wear to get through your week, speak honestly about what you are feeling and perhaps start to think about what you’d like to do next.  However, I also recognise that you may not want to do that.  

I have extensive experience of working with aspects of identity and difference gained initially through my voluntary work with community based organisations such as Switchboard,  local counselling charities and a cultural/religious organisation.  

My work in these communities and observing the emotional impact that challenging situations have on individuals have drawn me to understand the impact of trauma and I am developing my knowledge further in this area. 

The first session is a chance for us to understand each other. Some people have a very clear idea of what they want to speak about – others are not sure where to start. Both are fine and valid. 

The time is there for you to start to consider what's brought you to therapy.  It's also a chance for us both to consider if we both can continue to work together - therapy is a relationship.  

If you'd like a conversation before diving into a first session, I offer a no obligation 15 minute conversation so we can get a feel of me and how I practice.
