About Therapy
Personalised Attention for All Your Needs
I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix; therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and therapist alike. Making small changes to self-defeating behaviour and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, loss and pain can bring life-altering results.
Psychotherapy aims to bring the unconscious mind into consciousness, to help experience, unravel and understand deep-rooted feelings, thoughts and behaviours. In order to explore how they may be resolved, I will often take you back through your childhood and bring you back to the present day. Psychotherapy can be a challenge and, at times, can be uncomfortable but you will not be alone on your journey as I will provide you with a confidential, holding environment to grow our trusted therapeutic alliance. When you begin to trust in this way it can help to develop healthy relationships with self and others outside and within the home.
I also use a range of various techniques to aid in your psychological well-being. This may include inventions pertaining to self-care ie breathing exercises, nutrition and mindfulness.
About Me
Exceeding Expectations One Step at a Time
Early on in my life I knew I wanted a career path that could make a difference in people’s lives. This interest led me to study psychotherapy. I studied at Hertfordshire University and gained a Master of Arts in Contemporary Therapeutic Counselling (accredited by the British Association of Counsellors/Psychotherapists (BACP). I am also a fully trained Clinical Supervisor & EMDR Practitioner.
Current work settings:
NHS
Private Practice
Drug/Alcohol Rehab
I have expertise in an extensive range of issues from alcohol/drug addiction, those addicted and families/loved ones affected by alcohol/drug use, bereavement, depression, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, loss, trauma, gender, anxiety, self-harm, race/cultural challenges, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, bullying, fertility issues and relationships to name a few. I work with both young people and adults.
I am also fully qualified in therapeutic massage and ran a successful business, for many years, which was commissioned by local government to work with complex drug/alcohol addictions across Bedfordshire.
I am committed to the mental health and physical well-being of all my clients and believe that the mind and body are linked. If emotions are not addressed they can often manifest within the body causing pain and distress.
As a fully accredited member of the BACP I adhere to the professional ethical framework and good practice guidelines. I hold a current enhanced DBS and fully insured to practice psychotherapy.
I attend regular continued professional development (CPD) in order to keep up with new practices, learning and research.
Services I Offer
With You Every Step of the Way
Individual Therapy
In my confidential therapy sessions we will work together exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviours, which could facilitate a positive change from within. I can help you “re-frame” your reactions and provide you with valuable tools to cope with life’s obstacles. I’m confident you’ll find my personalised individual therapy beneficial and inspirational.
Couples Therapy
Relationships can be challenging at times. If you’re looking for quality Couples Therapy in a confidential and private space then you’ve come to the right place. I will help to guide you both through the issues you bring and encourage you to implement various methods in order to develop new attitudes towards life’s most complex matters.
Clinical Supervision
Supervision is essential to how a therapist maintains good professional practice and self-care throughout their working life. It provides regular and ongoing opportunities to reflect in depth about all aspects of practice. This enables the ability to work effectively, safely and ethically. As a supervisor I work collaboratively and creatively thus helping to achieve positive outcomes for both client and supervisee. I work with individuals and groups.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It is a unique therapy that can help people recover from problems triggered by traumatic events in their lives. It stops difficult memories causing distress by enabling the brain to reprocess them properly, working with memory to heal the legacy of past pain.
EMDR therapy is best known for treating PTSD but can help with a range of mental health conditions in people including depression and anxiety.
