About Me

10 Years of Experience in Psychological Services

Experience

Together we will work to help you feel better, happier, more in control and confident in who you are as a person. As you begin to understand yourself and why you do things more, this will open you up to greater awareness in all parts of your life; home, work and relationships.

As a chartered psychologist with extensive psychotherapy training, I know the right questions to ask, to listen to what makes you who you are, to appropriately challenge you and then to develop a joint way of working that will help you to achieve your goals. I will use techniques adapted to you, to help you to understand why you feel and behave the way you do now. We can then explore what has been blocking you from leading the life you want to lead, and aid you in developing the insight/coping skills to let you lead that life.

Why choose to come to see me?

Many people have had an experience of therapy in the past and it has not produced the results they wanted. This in part can be due to the person going to see a therapist who is trained in one specific therapeutic modality (approach). This means that the therapist is trying to fit the person to the approach, instead of the other way around. I have been trained in multiple different modalities, so I can tailor the therapy based on your individual needs.
