My background in helping people is quite varied. I have been working in the health and care sector for over 10 years now, both with adults and children and young people. I graduated with a BSc with Honours Degree in Psychology in 2012, with my specialist subject being Child Development. Most recently, I graduated with the Diploma in CBT Counselling and Group-Work in June 2017. I am a COSCA registered Therapist and I am working towards my accreditation.
I have over 8 years experience working with people suffering with trauma- related issues which has had an impact on their mental health and over 2 years experience working with adults with anxiety and depression. I am also a Theraplay informed Practitioner which I can implement into my child therapy sessions when appropriate.
You are the expert in your life and I, as your therapist, would provide a safe, consistent and welcoming environment for you to understand what the problems are and we would work together to improve your life.

Understanding people is one of my main passions. I've enjoyed working with people experiencing day to day stress, mental health issues, neurological issues, addictions, homelessness, terminal illness and difficult life events like loss and trauma. I have a Diploma in nursing and a Diploma in CBT, Counselling and groupwork. I am a COSCA registered Integrative Therapist listed on Counselling Directory and I will soon begin working towards becoming an Accredited Psychotherapist.
I consider my training Traditional yoga and many of the other other philosophies I have studied to influence my life, my work and how I see myself, people and the world. To me, people are innately whole and getting better is about finding the way back to that.
Modern Evidence based Mental Health Care is more and more benefiting from integrating traditional approaches to human well being. I love drawing from both worlds to find the best fit for the people I support. I've discovered that modes of therapy influenced by meditative traditions make sense to me.
I've really enjoyed expanding my approach with approaches like:mindfulness based, somatic, acceptance and commitment, compassion focused and meta cognitive. These approaches lend themselves well to compulsions like ODC and self harm. In conjunction with attachment focused interventions facilitate gentle change to those who have experienced complex or early trauma or personality/emotional dysregulation disorder.
