A Warm Hello and Welcome!
About Me
As a Chartered Psychologist and Counselling Psychologist, I am committed to the well-being and development of all my clients. I work with adults (including older adults), children and families. I am an integrative practitioner, drawing on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) Person-Centred and Humanistic approaches. I tailor our sessions to suit your personality and the issues which you bring.
Perhaps you are feeling down, hurt or anxious – maybe you are unsure about the future of a relationship, bereaved or just feel that you are not living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to provide a warm, safe and non-judgemental space to support you on your journey towards healing, self-discovery, and development.
Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in our sessions, I promote behavioural transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. I have the tools and years of professional experience from working in the NHS and private sector to help you to get back on track.
“Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength” – Sigmund Freud
