Finding a therapist who fits your needs is an important process.

But searching takes time and cultivates a sense of uncertainty while you are looking for clarity on a particular issue.

You’re looking for safe clinical care that respects your resources. That’s why the 'search' usually feels like a 'vetting process'. I believe transparency about my practice and costs is the first step in building an effective therapeutic relationship.

I work with people who have experienced loss, discrimination or trauma in their lives which has influenced the particular issue they seek therapy for.  I often work with people who are curious about facing a specific issue differently. People often describe themselves as managing but feeling it’s not sustainable.

If this resonates with you, then you have found a safe place to find your way forward. Your agenda. Our collaboration.

About me

I am a Counselling Psychologist, fully qualified and HCPC Registered (PYL046201).

My approach to psychological therapy is client-centred, open-ended and evidence-based.

I am skilled in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), person-centred therapies, bereavement counselling, research and clinical supervision.

Generally, our starting point is a discovery conversation with no obligation. If you decide to go forward to therapy sessions, we’ll build out a formulation in the early sessions. This gives a sense of what’s happening, highlights where to put efforts into change and shapes your personal therapeutic plan.

I blend multiple therapies to ensure our sessions meet you where you are, at your pace, and with care.

Arranging a discovery conversation

If I can be helpful for what brings you to therapy right now, I will suggest arranging a discovery conversation. This is a confidential, practical and supportive session of up to 90 minutes.

Attending a discovery session has no expectation or commitment to continuing sessions.

As a responsible clinician, I practice within the limits of my competence. I cannot provide a comprehensive team based approach to complex presentations.
