About me and my therapy practice
I am a person centred therapist by core, this allows us as therapists to develop a therapeutic alliance and create the right conditions for people to express and be themselves in a non judgmental and confidential space. My training after person centred was completed at University of Central Lancashire in both a BSc Honours Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and then later a PG Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy, qualifying as a clinical Psychotherapists on 2019. Psychotherapy is my foundation of all i do now in my practice and as one of my great lecturers said "once you switch it on, its hard to switch off, you see patterns everywhere". Psychotherapy teaches us the past into present, the patterns we get stuck in and the dynamics/blue prints we revert to when in distress. I have worked in various NHS settings, both inpatient, community and with adults and adolescents. I have also worked in drug rehabilitation and alongside the adder project and developed a trauma informed training package to help break down the stigma and barriers to those recovering from addiction. I have a deep understanding of Adverse childhood experiences and how these adversities can greatly impact a persons opportunities and also their outlook on the world, manifesting in anxiety and depression. In my role as senior mental health practitioner i attended the Improving Psychological Therapies IAPT Systemic Family Practitioner Course PGDip and passed this earlier this year 2025. This course taught me about social graces, difference, the family as a system, how to externalise anxiety, depression, eating disorders, blame, guilt. It taught me that the problem is never located in the individual but always in the family system and how to gently help those understand or come to the realisation of how the the problem influences the family and how the family influence the problem, developing formulation and testing hypothesis together.
