My Background
My Training
I am a qualified, BACP-registered psychotherapist and trained at Regent’s University London, where I completed a three-year MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling.
My training was integrative, including psychoanalytic, humanistic and existential therapies and had a strong emphasis on relational and phenomenological psychotherapy. In practice, this means that I draw on a number of different ways of working to help support each person I see. Everyone is different, and so it is important that therapy can adapt.
I am also trained in a trauma-informed approach, and have a deep understanding of various forms of traumatic experiences, how they can impact us and ways that therapy can help.
Prior to training as a psychotherapist, I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and a Master of Science in Psychology. I therefore draw on psychotherapeutic, psychological and philosophical principles in my work.
My Experience
I have worked in mental health since 2020 across a range of settings including the NHS, charitable organisations, private mental health services and low-cost counselling services. This has given me experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds with a variety of experiences.
Through my work in NHS mental health crisis services and residential services, I have supported people living with diagnosed mental health conditions, experiencing suicidal thoughts and facing challenges that make daily life feel overwhelming. I have also worked in specialist addiction treatment services, and services supporting people with eating disorders and self-harm.
I have also worked for a bereavement charity, facilitating support groups for people who had lost a loved one to cancer or COVID, and have spent the last two years volunteering in a low-cost counselling service. Alongside my private practice, I facilitate therapeutic groups in a domestic abuse charity.
The variety of my experience allows me to adapt my approach to each person, recognising that no two individuals or stories are the same.
