Please get in touch regarding times and I will endeavour to find a time that works for you within my calendar.

I am an integrative psychotherapist which simply means I combine a variety of the techniques I have learnt to fit the needs of my clients, all of whom are completely individual which is why I do not have a 'one size fits all'. My experience working in the NHS, and also as an online therapist working with struggles such as anxiety, depression, anger and low self-esteem has allowed me to explore what I have found to be most effective way of working to build a relationship which I believe is fundamental to good therapy.

How I work;

Psychodynamic Therapy

This considers unconscious feelings and mental processes which can be hidden from our awareness but still impact how we act and feel today. It allows us to consider not only what the problem might be but also the cause of it and how past experiences and relationships may have contributed to this.

Person Centred Therapy

This considers our relationships and how we behave in them, and how this then can impact our everyday lives. It can help pick up patterns and consider more helpful ways of interacting and develop better self-awareness and relational skills.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

This considers how we can accept our thoughts and feelings as oppose to battling them, because the battle can drain us emotionally and leave us depleted of resources to live a rich and meaningful life. It is about focusing on our values, and encouraging you to commit to doing the things in life that line up with those values and letting go of the things that don’t.

Whether you are new to therapy or have been in therapy before, are you interested in having a new experience and going on a journey of self exploration to allow you to know yourself better? In knowing yourself better, often you will feel more connected to the world and those closest to you which brings infinite fulfilment and joy to life.

Self-awareness can allow patterns to be seen between the past and the present and most importantly help us with the here and now. Whether or not there is something challenging you in this moment, it is through reflection upon all the parts of you which can make you feel more whole and stronger to deal with the inevitable ups and downs of life.Whatever the help you are seeking personally, whatever your walk of life, I endeavour to help you navigate through challenges or hardships and uncover qualities within yourself that simply haven’t yet been found to live a mentally healthier and more fulfilled life.

As a therapist, I will not;

Try to fix you.

Give you advice.

Tell you what to do.

Pretend I know more about you than you do.

Assume what is best for you.

Have all the answers.

Make the hard stuff go away.

As a therapist, I will;

Remind you that you are not broken.

Give you room to access your own wisdom & understanding.

Support you in figuring out what to do.

Recognise that you are the expert on your own life.

Remember that only you know what is best for you.

Respect that I do not know it all.

Work with you on how to make the hard stuff easier to sit with.

Please get in touch to arrange a free consultation over the phone and to hear about my up to date availability.

Our therapy sessions would be held weekly at the same time and day each week​ to retain consistency which is necessary to allow for a safe and secure therapeutic relationship. I am currently offering virtual sessions via video call which I have had extensive experience in alongside face to face work, however the online approach has been proven to be equally effective therapeutically and offers you the ability to have therapy in a safe space which you choose.

I offer concessionary rates for low income and student therapists in training.
