I work with a range of issues to include anxiety, bereavement and loss, childhood trauma, depression, relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, identity and stress management/work life balance.
I have a particular interest in working with individuals who have experienced adoption to include the adult adoptee, the birth parent and/or the adoptive parents having completed my MA in Humanistic and Integrative psychotherapy.
I specifically explored the clinical therapeutic relationship when working with people affected by the adoption experience.
I provide short-term counselling to those who need support getting through a particular issue or event in their lives and longer term psychotherapy to individuals who wish to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships with others.
As an integrative psychotherapist my experience and training includes working with a range of therapeutic approaches to include Rogerian, Psychodynamic, CBT, Gestalt and Existential psychotherapy.
Central to my clinical practice is the importance and value of the therapeutic relationship as this holds the potential for movement and growth. I provide a safe, empathic and confidential space to help individuals speak about the challenges and/or experiences which have caused them pain or distress.
My role as a psychotherapist is to provide support and guidance to help individuals explore obstacles that may be preventing them from moving forward in their lives.
