In my work with my clients, I believe it is important to take the time to truly listen and understand them and their experience of difficulties from their perspective.
Book a sessionI am passionate about empowering individuals, particularly those facing challenges, to create positive change. I believe our thoughts have a profound impact on our well-being, and through compassionate listening, I work collaboratively with my clients to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses their unique needs. I adopt an integrative therapeutic style that employs a person centred cognitive behavioural approach that also incorporates compassion focused and humanistic orientations. I believe establishing a good therapeutic alliance is important for treatment effectiveness and promoting engagement in therapy which is why I strive to maintain a good working alliance in my work with clients. With over 15 years of experience, I've worked with diverse populations in both community and NHS settings. I have also been involved in the training and supervision of junior colleagues and other mental health professionals. My experience includes working with adults and children with complex mental health presentations. I have a special interest in Eating Disorders as well as other anxiety related disorders. My work often involves short to long term Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), as well as third wave CBT models like ACT, CFT, DBT, and Mindfulness.
