About me and my therapy practice

Have you experienced a sense of being misunderstood or feeling disconnected from those around you, or not understanding your own thoughts, feelings and behaviours? I provide a holistic approach which integrates diverse elements of psychology and psychotherapy, collaborating with you to address any challenges you may be facing. To ensure a comfortable and informative start, I offer an initial free 20-minute consultation, allowing you to ask questions and gain insight into the collaborative process. My collaborative approach fosters a profound partnership, enabling us to explore your psychology together. This journey facilitates a deeper understanding of yourself, empowering you to navigate your wellbeing with clarity and purpose. With a passionate and dedicated commitment, I strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals navigating mental health challenges.

My first session

Having engaged with a diverse array of mental health issues, disabilities and disorders through working with the NHS, NHS staff, Psychiatric unit, Brain Injury Recovery, and as a School Based Children's Counsellor over the last 6 years. I embrace a therapeutic philosophy that recognises the intricacies of each human brain. No label, diagnosis or assessment can truly encapsulate the complexity of simultaneous neural connections occurring within us at any one given moment. Therefore, understanding oneself involves a comprehensive exploration of thoughts, feelings, behaviour, as well as recognising our beliefs, perception of the world and those around us, and the injustices encountered. This journey helps illuminate how your distinctive psychology has shaped your identity today. When we are unaware of our own narrative, it becomes challenging to comprehend ourselves fully. My philosophy is rooted in providing you with the space to discover and embrace your true self, promoting positive mental health.
