About me and my therapy practice
I trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist at the Sherwood Institute of Psychotherapy, Nottingham,
I use mental health assessments such as , PHQ9, GAD7, WAS, PCL5 to assess clients for suitability for Counselling and other modalities, and provide specialist psychological treatment based upon clearly accepted, evidence-based principles (N.I.C.E. guidelines for Depression), to work with common mental health problems, including mood and adjustment disorders and other issues.
I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to create a safe, compassionate space for clients to explore emotional difficulties and develop healthier understandings of their experiences.
I have extensive experience supporting diverse populations across NHS and forensic settings.
