About Me.
My Experience
My previous experience includes counselling adults in a charitable setting, working with young adults and staff in a college and also working in a bereavement support service.
Before becoming a therapist and coach I worked in adoption for over 10 years helping to find families for children and providing support to adopters going through their adoption journey. I therefore have a range of experience in helping people through challenges.
My Approach
I am a dual trained psychotherapist and senior accredited coach.
I understand that everyone’s needs are different, and therefore I tailor my approach around what works best for you. I will use my in-depth therapeutic knowledge to help you process, understand and explore your experiences. I can integrate coaching questions to enable you to look to the future. Helping you to challenge what might be getting in the way, and decide what you would like to achieve and how to get there.
I am a certified Imago couples therapist. You may be coming to see me as an individual who is experiencing difficulties in your romantic or family relationships. I will bring my therapeutic awareness of relationship dynamics to help you navigate this and find connection.
Background and Training
I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I work to their ethical framework. In order to gain my ‘Accredited’ status from the BACP, I have had to demonstrate through extensive client hours, essays and ongoing professional learning that I have high standards of knowledge, experience and development.
I am a Senior Practitioner in Coaching. I am passionate about working with people to bring positive change to their lives. As a dual trained coach therapist I am able to work with you on a deeper level to allow you to identify blindspots that may be holding you back.
