About

I have a Master’s degree in cognitive behavioural psychotherapy and am currently provisionally accredited with the BABCP. My Master's dissertation was an autoethnographic study critically reflecting and analysing the impact of sexual abuse in family systems. My hope is to share my understanding of the issues that arise within this field and bring specialist knowledge to my psychotherapy practice, which was further supported by my voluntary work in this field.

The research undertaken has enabled me to gain a deeper level of critical reflective awareness and theoretical understanding as a professional Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist.

I believe my ability to establish therapeutic alliances with clients is my greatest strength as a practitioner. Working as a mentor with young people (aged 11-18) has supported the development of strong interpersonal skills, using communication and warmth to overcome barriers to learning and motivation, and increasing the confidence and self-esteem with my clients and students.

Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (adults)

As a relational therapist, I offer a professional, warm, empathetic approach to therapy.

I am able to offer a safe and supportive space for the exploration of concerns or issues from the past, present or future. I offer an integrative approach which means that I am able to adapt my approach dependent upon what is brought to the therapy space.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative experience, where you are able to explore solutions to support you in your day-to-day life. I believe that growing a sense of self-compassion and kindness can support the growth of a different relationship with yourself, to build self-worth, self-esteem and self-confidence.

I comfortably share my own knowledge and understanding of psychological theories supported by an evidence-based practice. I adhere to the Ethical Framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which supports an open, honest and transparent way of working.
