My qualifications
I am a qualified integrative counsellor. I have undertaken five years of training at The Minster Centre, which is one of the longest-established training institutions in the UK and Europe for integrative psychotherapy.
I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their Ethical Framework – you can find more information here.
I am also a chartered psychologist (CPsychol) registered with the British Psychological Association.
I have a PhD in Psychology and, along with my work as a therapist, I have been an academic researcher for several years, at the University of Cambridge and UCL. You can find my publications here.
My approach
Integrative therapy
I draw from different traditions of psychotherapy to tailor my support to each person. Attachment theory, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and humanistic approaches are all central to my practice. You can read more about different therapeutic approaches here.
Trauma-informed
I am aware of how trauma affects the body and, if you wish to explore traumatic experiences, I will use a range of techniques that can help us to do so safely.
Trauma can be brought about by a single acute event but also by enduring experiences of oppression. My practice is informed by a multicultural sensitivity and is queer and trans affirmative.
Relational therapy
I believe that our inner world is shaped by the kind of relationships we have with those close to us, starting from the earliest caregiving relationships. I will pay attention to the kind of expectations, hopes, and fears that you bring into relationships. These expectations may sometimes show up in the relationship between us too, and exploring this may bring about much self-understanding.
