About me and my therapy practice
鈥渧ulnerability is not weakness, it is our greatest measure of courage鈥 Brene Brown
You might know what your goals for therapy are or you may be feeling overwhelmed and confused about where to even begin. As an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Therapist I can offer you a safe space to explore your difficulties in confidence; to identify how you would like things to be and work with you to find your own way forward.
Practice description
Although my approach is primarily CBT based I work in a trauma informed way and draw upon a variety of therapeutic approaches learned throughout my training and on-going personal and professional development. I have a particular interest in how developing mindfulness and compassion can enable us to grow from a place of kindness and understanding. Also how we can learn to understand and regulate our nervous systems to find relief from chronic symptoms of distress.
With 10 years of experience in working across third sector, secondary and primary care mental health services my most important learning has come from the people I work with. Working in collaboration to grow self awareness with curiosity and compassion leading to lasting change.
My first session
Building a trusting relationship is a key part of the counseling process; I can offer a safe, confidential environment to give you the freedom to be more open and honest and guide you to make sense of your difficulties. Therapy with me can be open-ended and exploratory of more structured or goal focused depending on what you need. Finding the right therapist and approach for you is all important so please feel free to contact me for an informal discussion.
