About Me
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 you. I will use my in-depth therapeutic knowledge to help you process, understand and explore your experiences. I will integrate coaching questions to enable you to look to the future.
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.
My Experience
My previous experience includes counselling adults in a charitable setting, supporting young adults and staff in a college and 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.
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.
