About Me



“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”

                                           

    - Carl R. Rogers, A Way of Being, 1995.



 

  About me. 


I am a qualified registered therapist with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). As a member of the BACP, I am accountable to their framework and guidelines, which ensures I provide you the best possible service and a safe therapeutic space. I hold a Bachelors degree in Psychology and Counselling and a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have done various training to understand and work with trauma in many contexts and I hold a deep interest in the field of Psychoneuroimmunology.


I have experience working with a range of client groups, varying from students to adults and have explored and worked with a variety of issues such as - 

Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Anger, Neurodiversity,

Grief, Loss, Loneliness, Shame, Trauma, Identity crisis, Abuse, Childhood Trauma, Racial Identity, Marital Issues, Life Transitions, Family conflict, Self Esteem, Religiosity, Addiction, Self-harm, Infertility and Discrimination

 


  Why therapy? 


I have always held a deep interest and curiosity towards people and what makes and shapes who we are, along with all the many other complexities and nuances that we hold. I take each persons experience as their greatest authority, it is something that can only truly be understood and felt by them and it is this that I aim to work with, accepting each client wholly for who they are, with no judgement or shame.


I believe therapy to be highly relational. Through my practice and supported by research, I have found that the relationship held between therapist and client to be one of the largest indicators of successful therapy. The connection held can be unexplainable but deeply important to those who experience it, as it stems from a place of being provided with the core conditions needed for us to process, learn and grow as people.


I value the privilege of fostering and experiencing these relationships with my clients, recognising that through these interaction I am able to learn, process and grow alongside them.
