Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Psychotherapist and Registered Psychotherapist
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Psychotherapist and Registered Psychotherapist
As an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor I am dedicated to helping clients achieve their goals and explore new ways of thinking.
I provide a safe and non-judgemental space for children, adolescents, and adults to work through their emotional difficulties.
My integrative approach allows me to tailor therapy to your specific needs, so you can find the therapy that works for you.
Training in integrative (meaning different modalities combined into a whole) psychotherapy at Terapia in London has equipped me to work with a variety of therapeutic techniques, including and not limited to, art, drama, music, and play. I strongly believe in the expressive power of play and of using creative mediums such as clay, paint and sand. The integrative approach allows me to customise my approach to suit the needs of each child, young person, or adult. My focus is always based in seeking to understand the unconscious dynamics which might be adversely affecting the client’s life and in helping my clients understand themselves whilst supporting them in building a stable and healthy sense of themselves in the world. I am keenly aware of the need to develop a child or adult’s capacity for resilience, and for their sense of their own agency and identity to be fully expressed.
I have a long-standing interest in attachment difficulties and adverse childhood experiences and work from a Trauma informed position; believing firmly in establishing a sense of safety for my clients as quickly as possible, prioritising the relational aspect of the work.When working with parents, I see my role as supporting them in thinking about how to understand and support their children through difficult periods in their lives. I find working with parents and facilitating dialogue to help them better understand their children a very rewarding and important part of my work.
