Hello! Thank you for visiting my page and a warm welcome to my profile. My background prior to working full-time as a therapist was corporate; I understand some of the difficulties associated with high pressure environments, hybrid or remote working, burnout, stress and anxiety etc. I work a great deal with senior leaders and business owners who have expressed that my knowledge of the corporate world has been extremely helpful.

Approach:

I use Human Given psychotherapy which focuses on our emotional needs as human beings and draws on some of the best elements of approaches such as person centred therapy, CBT, NLP, ACT, trauma-informed and solution focused therapy. I’m also trained in the use of the Rewind Technique for trauma/PTSD, motivational interviewing and a range of somatic, breathing & relaxation techniques, including guided imagery. I have worked within the substance misuse sector and more recently trained as a sober coach. Sessions are held gently with empathy and at a pace that works for you with the aim that you leave feeling listened to and optimistic.

Getting help:

Taking that first step to get support can feel really daunting, particularly if you have been coping with a difficulty for a long time or have never spoken about an experience that is now troubling you. Many people come into therapy for the first time not knowing quite what to expect – my approach is very ‘human’! Therapy is very much tailored towards your circumstances, your emotional needs and importantly, what you want to achieve by working with me. I offer a free initial chat over the phone so you can decide if I’m the right person to work with you; we work together so it’s important you feel comfortable with me!

I offer both face to face and virtual sessions (although I don’t offer the Rewind virtually). My face to face time is split between London and Kent. I have the privilege of working with military personnel and veterans and offer concessions to students, NHS workers and teachers. I am a member of the Human Givens Institute and as such I am bound by a strict code of ethics and receive regular supervision. I am fully insured and have enhanced DBS clearance.
