About me and my therapy practice
I am a qualified Person-Centred Psychotherapist with experience working with teens and adults both within the education system and also in a Respect-accredited private agency setting.
I work with a range of issues including anxiety; depression; relationship issues; lack of self-confidence; self-harm; school refusal; stress; loss and bereavement; and surviving abusive relationships.
My previous background is within the legal profession and so I also have experience dealing with work-related stress and anxiety. It is due to my own experiences of therapy and the transformative changes that occurred in my life as a result, that led me to retrain as a Psychotherapist to offer the same support to others.
As a person-centred therapist I very much believe that, given the right supportive and non-judgemental environment, we can work together to re-experience and process past experiences and traumas and to develop greater levels of self-acceptance and compassion.
Therapy can seem daunting and so taking that first step of making contact with a therapist is a huge step forward in prioritising your mental health and well-being.
Please feel free to contact me for a free initial discussion as to what you would like to achieve from therapy so that I can answer any questions that you may have and allow you the opportunity to decide whether I am the right therapist for you.
Practice description
With my practice being based in the centre of Leamington Spa, there is ample on-street parking available as well as bus access within easy reach of our building.
Online Zoom sessions are also available should this be required.
My first session
Once we have had an initial telephone or Zoom introductory discussion and we have set a date and time for our first session together, our first session will be spent going through a more detailed assessment process together.
We will discuss the goals or life changes that you would like to achieve through our sessions together, and the next steps in the process. Whilst there is a fee for this initial session, this session is still on a no-obligation basis so that you can decide if therapy is right for your needs at this time and again, whether I am the right fit for you as a therapist.
