AboutMe
 

I am a qualified and accredited (NCPS) integrative counsellor,

registered with BACP and EMDR UK and Ireland and COSRT

registered member (Sex and Relationships) meaning that I hope to

have tools that will support any presentation that is brought into

the room. I set up the first FND counselling service and in addition

to trauma (EMDR) and emotional wellbeing anxiety; depression;

bereavement; (integrative and CBT) I also work with sexual health

presentations such as erection and ejaculation issues; pain and

penetration issues; vaginismus; porn and sex addiction &

compulsivity; kink positive; sexuality and concerns re low sexual

desire.

 

Working with sexual functioning presentations and intimacy issues

within relationships.

My practice is trauma-informed, pluralistic and underpinned by a

biopsychosocial model, which experiences the client in the context

of their emotional wellbeing, life experiences and their present

reality. I am EMDR qualified and am a registered member of COSRT.

​

Whatever life challenge you are facing you do not need to do so

alone. As an integrative counsellor I can offer to walk with you

whilst we detangle what is happening in the here and now.

MYAPPROACH
 
During my career I have been fortunate to have worked with, and been specifically trained, by multiple services working with diverse presentations. I offer a supportive space to explore, untangle and be curious about what challenges you may be facing.

As a humanistic therapist, my approach, at its core, is the belief that every individual has the need, desire and capacity for growth.  My practice is trauma-informed, pluralistic and underpinned by a biopsychosocial model, which experiences the client in the context of their emotional wellbeing, life experiences and their present reality.
I strive to create a warm and accepting environment where clients can feel safe to explore their thoughts and emotions with no judgement. My goal is to help clients tap into their inner wisdom and resources to navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I work closely with my clients to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets their unique needs and goals.

With a focus on empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, I am committed to helping my clients live more fulfilling and satisfying lives.
