Hello! I am an HCPC-registered Practitioner Psychologist (educational and counselling psychology). My practice is exclusively focused on providing individual psychotherapy to adults and adolescents.
My approach to therapy is Person-Centred, or Rogerian, which is based on the belief that all human beings have the innate potential to heal and self-actualize. This approach emphasizes the power of a supportive, empathic and non-judgmental relationship to help a person mobilize and realise this potential. To create this relational space, I offer clients genuineness, deep empathy and unconditional acceptance. The invitation is to come as you are, with all of who you are. The message I seek to send to your nervous system is that you do not need to protect yourself from me. As trust develops, I will integrate techniques, methods and strategies from evidence-based therapy (specifically Brainspotting, Schema Therapy, EMDR) and to create tailored and effective psychological support.
Alongside my clinical pracitce, I am also a Brainspotting consultant, providing consultation and supervision to therapists seeking certification in this transformative modality.
My therapeutic experience and areas of interest cover the following:
Therapy for adults and adolescents (12+) facing a wide range of adjustment difficulties and anxiety and mood related difficulties.
Therapy for trauma & treatment of PTSD, including: sports trauma; medical trauma; spiritual/religious trauma; childhood/developmental trauma affecting general and relational functioning in adulthood.
Therapy with young adults, focused on supporting the unique needs of the emerging adulthood life stage, including the transition from adolecence into adulthood and from education & training into early career.
Therapy sensitive to the needs and experiences of queer men.
Expansion work (positive psychology), for developing self-leadership, interpersonal effectiveness and personal confidence.
