Training

I have training in working therapeutically with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, self- harm, addiction, relational trauma, sexual abuse, complex PTSD and dissociation. My training has also included how emotional distress/trauma can be held within the body and present as physical pain/bodily symptoms. This training informs my practise by ensuring I attend to clients in a holistic way that involves integration between the mind and body experience.

​

Experience

I have experience of working with a diverse range of adult clients and settings within the NHS and charitable sector; including drug and alcohol detox, forensic Mental Health rehabilitation,  Supporting clients and carer’s in Mental Health crisis, and working as part of a family therapy team.

​

I worked for 4 years at a charity, supporting and counselling adults who have experienced childhood trauma and subsequent addiction.

​

I can work with and hold whatever you choose to bring to counselling. I have experience in working with anxiety, depression, attachment issues, relationship and family issues. Work stress, life transitions, loss and grief, traumatic experiences, abuse, addiction, shame, anger, and self- sabotage.

In a world that encourages us to focus on keeping busy and distracted from who we really are, emotional well being and relationships can suffer. I am passionate about promoting the importance of self- care, self- compassion and meaningful connection in maintaining positive Mental Health; so I also welcome clients looking to undertake counselling for their personal growth and development.

 

I currently work with adults aged from 18 years and older.
