Education and Training
I trained to work integratively, which means I can draw upon different theories and approaches, such as Person-Centred Theory (PCT), Psychodynamic Theory, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My work is grounded in a compassionate, relational approach that actively identifies and challenges systemic inequities and recognises the profound ways personal identities and social contexts interact.
I have experience working with diverse age groups and cultures, and I support clients in their personal growth, addressing a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family issues, abuse, trauma, bereavement, and low self-esteem.
I engage in ongoing professional development to enhance my skills and stay updated with best practices in counselling. I attend regular supervision, where I reflect on my practice and ensure that I provide the highest quality of care to my clients. Regular supervision, rigorous training, and ongoing research help me maintain objectivity, improve my skills, and uphold ethical standards.
Alongside my private practice, I work with NHS referrals in a charity where I provide free counselling and clinical assessments to refugees and asylum seekers in their mother tongue. This humbling role, which often involves processing trauma, losses, and difficult life transitions, allows me to be attuned to diverse experiences and support individuals in finding confidence while navigating unique challenges.
As an integrative counsellor, artist, and author, I can offer you a professional and safe space for therapeutic self-expression; if you want, we can incorporate in our work imaginative or symbolic tools to gently access subconscious thoughts and emotions, deepening your self-awareness and supporting healing.
I work within an anti-oppressive, collaborative process; together, we can explore the past or focus on the present whilst I support you in exploring your inner world. I will tailor our sessions and adapt our approach to fit and meet your needs. In this process, you will gain insights and discover what empowers you to cultivate a more fulfilling life.
