As a qualified and accredited Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with an Interpersonal approach, I focus on building a therapeutic relationship with the people I work with and flexibly tailor my interventions to each individual with respect to their unique character and needs.

My focus is on the interpersonal aspects of human experience, with an understanding of the importance of relationships for a healthy and fulfilling life; this includes your relationship with others and with yourself, and thus I believe a balanced focus on your internal and external experience is key.

I can help you to learn more helpful and skilful ways to manage your emotions and to understand your behaviour and the behaviour of others, in order to adapt and develop more confidence and competence in dealing with challenging emotions and difficult situations.

I use creative techniques where this feels right and will collaborate with you to adapt my approach throughout our work. I value feedback and encourage personal autonomy and empowerment in the relationships I build.

I work inclusively with adolescents and adults from all walks of life and am passionate about helping people to move towards greater well-being and more fulfilling and connected lives.

 

Qualifications and Experience

I gained my Post-Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2020 after many years of as a Teacher in Secondary Education.

My first role in mental health was in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services with the NHS and subsequently working both privately and for EAP services as a counsellor and psychotherapist working primarily with adults.

I transitioned to solely private practice in 2023 and currently work from my home both online and face-to-face in Denby Dale, West Yorkshire.

I am accredited with both the BACP and EMDR-UK and have helped people with various aspects of their mental and psychological health and wellbeing including depression, anxiety, grief, emotional dysregulation, work stress, self-esteem and body issues, PTSD and various other personal and interpersonal issues.

I am also an accredited EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing) Therapist. This is an evidence-based and extremely effective tool to help people who are stuck in patterns from the past, often pertaining to trauma, complex trauma and negative core beliefs.

Most recently I have been exploring and integrating of IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy into my practice and am finding this to be a powerful and helpful way of approaching and framing the complexities people bring to therapy, facilitating greater understanding, emotional healing, and integration in their internal systems.

Compassion-Focussed Therapy (CFT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Attachment-Focussed Therapy (Psychodynamic)
