About me

Psychologist DCPsych Counselling Psychologist

Mental health is something that we all struggle with to varying degrees at various times. The extent to which this is experienced depends on the individual and their own set of life experiences, personal and family history, and genetic-biological make-up. Thus, I incorporate all of these elements in my work.

My own position is one where I have always held a deep respect for the uniqueness and courage of each individual that I have ever encountered throughout my life. I am compassionate, strong, safe and deeply caring. I am also skilled at shedding light into the darkest areas in a way that brings a clarity and newfound strength to the individual.

My qualifications are as follows: BA(hons) PPP 'Psychology, Philosophy, Physiology', MSc Psychology, Doctorate of Counselling Psychology (DCPsych). I also have extensive practical experience involving therapeutic work and other health care roles (as well as clinical research).

Some of the therapeutic techniques that I have been trained in and use are the following: Existential therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness CBT (MCBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), narrative attachment therapy, family therapy, trauma focused therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation Retraining Therapy (EMDR), Experiential Dynamic Therapy (EDT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).
