About Me
I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and Life Coach with a holistic approach. I don’t believe that one size fits all so I employ an integrated style, drawing upon psychodynamic, humanistic, Jungian, cognitive behavioural and existential principles, all underpinned by a Transpersonal framework. I work intuitively and utilise a variety of tools but I also have a very practical approach and really champion my clients.
I felt compelled to train and work as a psychotherapist having gone through a family crisis and early bereavement, where psychotherapy provided me with the much-needed turning point to change my life for the better. As a result, I believe that it is never too late to reclaim your personal power.
Prior to undertaking a five-year training and qualifying as a psychotherapist, I worked in the media for two decades, producing films for the charity Mind, Kick It Out and Peace One Day. I also worked in wellness publishing, promoting an assortment of prominent psychotherapist and wellbeing authors for Watkins Publishing. Before this, I ran a coaching company which worked with young people in schools building their self-esteem, resilience and honing their interview skills.
I have experience of working across a broad range of issues including: anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship or family difficulties, career stress and career change, OCD, adverse childhood experiences, bereavement, loneliness and have achieved successful outcomes with clients who have turned their lives around.
As well as talking therapy, I utilise a number of tools including: visualisations, behavioural experiments, inner child work, vision boards, dream work and chair work. I occasionally incorporate life coaching in relation to goal setting but only if the client has requested it.
Career Coaching
I also help clients who are dissatisfied with their current jobs and seeking a career change. By employing a variety of tools, I help them identify a new direction and provide support as they navigate this transition. Many of my clients have effectively moved into new roles, finding renewed fulfilment in their professional lives.
