About Me:
I am an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor. I was diagnosed later in my life, and this helped me to understand myself in a much deeper way. Since then, I have seen how people experience themselves and their world differently even if they have the same ‘diagnosis’. I am interested in what your lived experience is, how it has impacted you in the past and the present, and how I can support you to live your life with acceptance and more satisfaction.
I am trained in talking therapy and as an arts therapist. I can work with people creatively using various mediums including visual art, ‘doodling’, dreams, books, or films. Sometimes we cannot express what is going on with words and arts therapy can help to get in touch with experiences, thoughts, and feelings that are unconscious. When I work with children, I use creativity and play to explore their stories.
I have been working therapeutically with clients since 2007 and have experience in the NHS, schools, universities, fostering agencies, local authorities, charities, and private practice. I am a trainer and have developed therapeutic parenting programmes that have a trauma-informed approach. I am also training to become a clinical supervisor, working with students and qualified practitioners.
In my own time, I create fused glass pieces that have been ‘melted’ together in a kiln. I also enjoy journaling, storytelling and painting.
