A little bit about me

My role as a therapist is to work alongside you to help find ways to understand and address the issues you may be facing. 

My approach is to build a safe, trusting and confidential environment that challenges and supports you but also encourages self-awareness, resilience and personal growth. 

My therapeutic approach is integrative which means I can draw upon different skills and techniques (Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Existential, Cognitive Behavioural) that may best support you and your personal goals.

 

My experience

As well as running a private practice, I also offer psychotherapeutic services in voluntary and statutory settings, corporate organisations and private businesses.

I work with both individuals and couples and have many years experience in working with clients from wide ranging and diverse backgrounds and communities. 

I have particular experience in supporting clients from the creative industries and corporate backgrounds. Familiar areas of concerns have included issues with identity, true/false selves, managing relationships, power dynamics - some of which can manifest in anxiety, depression, insomnia and other psychological difficulties. 

Some of the areas I support my clients with include:

  • Anxiety and generalised anxiety

  • Depression

  • Stress

  • Work related issues

  • Work/Life balance

  • Low self esteem

  • Abuse

  • Trauma

  • Anger and anger management

  • Identity - Self and other

  • Gender roles

  • Finding meaning

  • Issues of power

  • Infidelity

  • Sexual addiction

  • Relationship / Family issues

  • Race and cultural identity

  • Personal development and growth

  • Bereavement and loss

  • Life transitions
