Having originally trained in Integrative Psychosynthesis before training in CBT I bring a soulful and transpersonal dimension to my practise. This means that I can provide a safe space in which your higher potential and capacity for inner healing can be activated. This will allow you to identify and transform unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving and draw on inner resources in a way that leads to deep, meaningful and lasting change.
About me and my practice
I believe that we're all doing the best we can and that the most important element of successful therapy is establishing a supportive relationship based on that understanding. Our work will then be a collaboration: helping you define your values as well as any challenges, uncovering whats keeping any problems going, then identifying and building on your strengths and resources to find creative solutions. These are often practical: involving cognitive shifts and gradual behavioural change that can make a profound difference to levels of functioning, engagement with life and general well-being.
The right fit is really important in therapy so for this reason initial consultations are free. I have a room available for face to face sessions here in Laughton and can also work remotely. I also offer outside therapy/nature therapy/walking therapy in the beautiful woods around Laughton.
Experience
I've worked with many people simply curious about the benefits of therapy and wanting to understand more about themselves and their way of being in the world.

I also have extensive experience of working with PTSD and complex trauma, along with experience of successfully working with depression and self-harm.
I have a special interest in neurodiversity and have worked with challenges arising from ADHD, ASC and PDD including issues with motivation, procrastination, self-regulation and social difficulties.
I also have extensive experience an specialist training for working with children and young people.
