I have dedicated 10 years of my career to working in mental health and therapeutic services. My journey began working with older people who were struggling to find meaning and purpose in a new way of living. I then went on to work in addictions and psychosis, before doing crisis work. After I worked in these areas, I specialised in working with anxiety and depression, which is where I gained a qualification in guided self-help, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT). Since then, I have gone on to study existentialism, mindfulness-based CBT, humanistic, gestalt, psychodynamic and narrative therapy. It is here that I gained my Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy qualifications. My studies lay the foundation for my work which is pluralistic/integrative, meaning I tailor therapy to fit around you rather than making you fit into a therapy. Throughout our journey, we will continuously review our work to ensure you are still benefiting from our route; and we will make adaptations when needed. The most important part is to hear your voice, as this will be the guide for our work.
