About me and my therapy practice
My training is in person centred, humanistic and psychodynamic counselling. My background is in educational settings where I supported young adults and staff.
My practice is currently based exclusively online and I work on a Short term ( set of sessions), or long term basis. Sessions take place on Zoom and last for 50 minutes.
I am a therapist who does challenge and will encourage you to work at depth, though all in a safe and aware manner, and at your pace. I believe that at the core of good therapy is the therapeutic relationship and feeling safe.
My therapeutic style is described as 'integrative,' though I tend to lean most towards person-centred and psychodynamic. This basically means that I believe it is you who holds the knowledge and expertise in yourself. Combining this with my learning, we can unpack past events, belief systems and defence mechanisms together to gain insight and healing.
Some of the issues that I work with are:
Depression
Anxiety
Stress
Low self esteem
Inner child
Lack of confidence
Work related stress
Relationship issues
Bereavement or loss
Divorce or separation
Anger and anger management
Inner conflict
Eating disorders
Postpartum depression
Practice description
I set up my practice with the aim to provide a warm therapy space that people could access without fear of judgement. I take a modern approach to therapy, which is informed by not just my training, but also my own lived experiences.
I like to get to know you as an individual and to understand how you became the person you are today. This means exploring your background and family dynamics. My primal approach is to support you in your present life and discover the blocks that may be preventing you from living the life you want.
Therapy sessions are lead by you where we explore your concerns and find gentle ways of healing. Discussing achievable steps towards change in cognitive thinking or behaviours can then be empowering and life changing.
My first session
I offer an initial free fifteen minute phone introduction.
This initial consultation is an opportunity to tell me a little about yourself and what you would like from therapy. It is also an opportunity for you to get to know me a little and get a sense for how I work.
Full therapy appointments take place over zoom and last for fifty minutes.
I offer short term (block bookings) and long term appointments. I offer some flexibility in appointment bookings.
