How I work, my experience and qualifications

I am an integrative relational therapist which means I draw on different ways of working to meet your individual needs. My relational and collaborative approach incorporates psychodynamic, humanistic, transpersonal and gestalt methods of therapy.

These enable us to explore the relationship you have with yourself and others in your life right now, and when past experiences impact how you are feeling today, gently exploring and understanding these can help you to find coping strategies for how you may want to move forward.


I believe that the relational connection within our therapeutic relationship is an important factor to enable you to grow and change. This is why it is important you choose a therapist you feel you can connect with and trust.

Experience

As well as my private practice, I am privileged to have volunteered at a hospice providing counselling for people and their families living with a life-limiting illness, and those who have lost a loved one.


I also have experience working at a sixth form college providing counselling support for young adults 16-18 years old.

Qualifications

BA (Hons) Degree in Counselling (Greenwich University)

Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling (Greenwich University)

DBS checked

As a fully-qualified counsellor I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy which is the main counselling regulatory body and I am bound by its ethical framework and complaints procedure.

I ensure my own continued professional development and regularly attend a variety of additional training to further my practice.

I attend regular clinical supervision, a requirement of my professional membership, that ensures I maintain the most effective and ethical practice.
