Counselling isnt about me giving you advice or solving your problems for you but rather it is about enabling you to find the best way to move forward emotionally and psychologically from a place of stuckness.​My training has given me the scientific knowledge founded in psychology to understand human behaviour combined with counselling skills to facilitate change. There are numerous therapeutic approaches but I strongly believe that there is no one right approach, which is why I integrate several evidence-based theories to what might be best suited to you.I am flexible in offering both short-term (between six and twelve sessions) as well as longer term therapy, which is something we will discuss during our initial meeting and reflect upon throughout sessions.ExperienceAside from private practice, I also currently work for The Royal Marsden as a specialist counselling psychologist supporting cancer patients and their relatives.​My previous clinical experience involves working in hospices, a GP surgery and NHS hospitals as well as within the private and voluntary sectors. I have had various roles in teaching and consultancy.​Although I am qualified to work with a wide range of issues, I have a special interest in long-term health conditions, palliative care and bereavement.Diseases, Medical Tests and TreatmentsCognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)Humanistic Therapies: person-centred, existential, GestaltIntegrative counsellingPhysical health impacting on psychological well-being (e.g. cancer or chronic fatigue syndrome/ME)Bereavement and lossLife transitions (e.g. children leaving the parental home, moving countries, menopause, retirement etc.)
