About Me

I am a Doctoral Trainee in Counselling Psychology, offering both person-centred

therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). While these approaches offer

different ways of working, my underlying philosophy is person-centred. I believe that

therapy begins with understanding you as an individual, rather than simply focusing

on the difficulties you may be experiencing.

​

My therapeutic style is curious, relational and collaborative. I aim to provide a

welcoming, non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences openly

and at your own pace. I value transparency throughout the therapeutic journey and

believe in working together to understand what feels meaningful and helpful to you.

Alongside the exploratory nature of person-centred therapy, I also offer CBT as a

more structured approach to understanding your experiences and making

meaningful changes.

​

I have diverse experience across psychological and mental health settings, including

within the NHS and in roles as an Assistant Psychologist and Therapist Assistant. I

also have a years experience providing therapy as a doctoral trainee in private

practice settings, supporting individuals with a broad range of emotional and

psychological difficulties.

​

Neurodivergence, particularly autism and ADHD, is an area in which I bring both

substantial professional experience and lived understanding. I also have experience

supporting people experiencing OCD. I value the different ways we each think, feel

and experience the world, and the importance of understanding each person on their

own terms.
