ABOUT ME
I have been involved with the Health and Social Care sector for over a decade which has allowed me to focus my career on people, and their own personal experiences. I have been lucky enough to travel and experience different cultures and societies, furthering my interest in the complexity of people’s unique values, beliefs and development.
​
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). As a member of the BACP, I adhere to their Ethical Framework which can be found on their website.
​
My approach to therapy is based in Person Centred Theory, which is the belief that we all possess the ability to develop towards self-actualisation. I believe that we all have an innate desire to grow, which the Person Centred approach can nurture and encourage. Sometimes I may call on other therapeutic tools and offer insight, but my philosophy is underpinned by the Person Centred approach.
​
I do not believe in expert lead therapeutic relationships; meaning that I believe that you are the expert of your experience, and you are free to explore these experiences at a depth and speed that you feel comfortable with. I trust that you will know what is best for you.
​
I have experience in working with many different themes such as addiction, narcissistic abuse, anxiety, depression, existential issues, eating disorders, suicide, traumatic experiences, sense of self, low self-esteem, identity, domestic abuse, relationship problems, terminal illnesses, bereavement, anger, sexual assault, childhood experiences and confidence issues.
​
In order for therapeutic change to occur, the relationship between us should be a collaborative one where you can feel safe to involve your whole self. I will endeavour to provide a safe and comfortable environment for you to feel safe to explore what could be difficult themes.
