BACKGROUND
I have Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. After working in a private mental health hospital as a Healthcare Assistant, I attended the University of Hertfordshire to complete a Post-Graduate Diploma (PGDip) and Masters (MSc) degree in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I am a registered member with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
EXPERIENCE AND APPROACH
My area of expertise is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I work with a wide range of clients and concerns including, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety disorders (OCD, PTSD, GAD, health, panic, phobias), stress, eating disorders and insomnia.
I take a client focused approach, incorporating various therapeutic techniques allows for a more holistic and flexible approach that we can adapt over time to meet your individual needs. My goal is for you to build healthier coping tools, emotional resilience and start living the life you want to live. I am trained in several other modalities including:
- Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
- Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Motivational Interviewing (MI).
WHY THERAPY
I offer a safe, empathetic and professional environment to address the difficulties you are facing and help you to live a more fulfilled life. Beginning a therapy journey can be a daunting experience. It is really important that you feel safe and comfortable. The first few sessions are about getting to know each other, building trust and having a shared
understanding of the problem. We can then focus on how to tackle the specific problem you are struggling with. Online therapy can also be an effective option for those who prefer the convenience and flexibility of virtual sessions.
