About me and my therapy practice
Do you experience feeling lost, low or perhaps unsure about what to do next? Do you no longer enjoy things in the same way and perhaps find it hard to describe or understand how you feel?
With a Masters's degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, I am informed by a range of different theoretical insights.
With a focus on building sessions around what is important to you as an individual. In order to help facilitate a greater understanding of yourself, I recognise the importance and benefit of a non-judgemental and relational approach that gradually builds trust and is focused around your experience as an individual. Always adhering to the Ethical Framework set by the Íø±¬ÃÅ to ensure a safe space.
Life can throw us unexpected challenges and the impact of these may be immediately felt, or may crop up months or years later. Our past experiences can intertwine with our family dynamics and current lifestyle to shape our perception of emotions and the situations we find ourselves in. These emotions can, at times, feel confusing and hard to put into words. Sometimes seeping out into other areas such as impacting general wellbeing and how we interact with others. At times this can be felt through Depression, Stress and/or Anxiety. Or perhaps it may be felt in other ways such as not being able to sleep or finding things, we previously enjoyed, more challenging and less enjoyable.
I am fortunate enough to have experience in a variety of different mental health settings, ranging from supporting individuals one to one and in groups, before moving onto senior management roles. Currently, alongside my private practice I lead on the development and delivery of mental health services, with a focus on early intervention and adapting support to individuals needs and experiences.
I provide a free initial 20 minute call to explore the support you feel you need and how we might work together.
Sessions take place weekly in Guildford/Godalming or via Zoom.
