About Me
I am a qualified and experienced Chartered Counselling Psychologist and EMDR practitioner. My extensive career includes working as a Highly Specialist Counselling Psychologist in the NHS, where I supported clients with complex and enduring mental health problems. I provide safe and confidential support for individuals struggling with a wide range of issues, including complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, bereavement, phobias, BDD, OCD, emotional containment/anger, and more.
My Approach
I am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest developments in psychology to provide a tailored therapeutic approach. This commitment ensures that I can help you understand your present difficulties and explore effective ways of overcoming them. My professional values are grounded in a humanistic and existential perspective, emphasizing respect for your individuality, privacy, autonomy, freedom, and ability to make your own choices.
Integrative Therapy
My integrative approach allows me to draw from various research-based practices, ensuring that the therapeutic treatment is tailored to your unique needs. The methods I incorporate include:
Existential Therapy: Exploring the human condition, focusing on freedom, responsibility, and the search for meaning.
Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviours, effective for anxiety, depression, and more.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): An evidence-based therapy for trauma and PTSD, using guided eye movements to process traumatic memories.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Helping clients become more aware of their present thoughts and feelings; beneficial for stress, anxiety, and depression.
Humanistic Therapy: Focusing on self-actualization, growth, and self-improvement, with an emphasis on empathy and the therapeutic relationship.
Bereavement Counselling: Specialized support for those dealing with grief and loss.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Combining cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices effective for personality disorders.
Trauma-Focused Therapy: Various approaches are designed to help clients process and heal from traumatic experiences.
By integrating these diverse therapeutic approaches, I ensure that each client receives the most effective and compassionate care possible, fostering resilience and personal growth.
