As a therapist, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your experiences and expand your self-awareness. This will enable us to identify patterns in behaviour which may no longer serve you, giving you the opportunity to make changes, and will facilitate the exploration of complex emotions such as grief, shame, and guilt.
In addition to my work as a counsellor, I have over 6 years’ experience working in frontline services supporting individuals who have experienced a range of difficulties including homelessness, substance and alcohol addiction, eating disorders, adverse childhood experiences, care experience, survivors of domestic abuse, sexual assault, suicidal ideation, and severe and enduring mental illness. I have a natural curiosity, and I believe that everyone should be able to overcome the issues holding them back. I will respond in a trauma-informed, person-centred way, meeting you where you are on your journey and patiently walking beside you.
Education and experience
I have an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling and have several years of counselling experience in a variety of therapeutic settings. I am particularly interested in Person-Centred Theory, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and Existential Therapy, all of which I integrate into my practice. I am open to using creative interventions, dream work and exploring somatic experiencing.
I am a member of the BACP and I work within the guidelines of the BACP Ethical Framework.
Like all BTC practitioners, I commit at least 25% of my time to the provision of low-cost and no-cost therapy to disadvantaged members of our community. Because I am an employee of the organisation, any surplus generated from my full-cost work is ploughed back into our charitable services.
