I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), hold an MSc in Psychology, and am currently completing a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology. My doctoral research focuses on attachment and self-esteem, and my practice is informed by both current psychological research and clinical experience.
My doctoral training has included person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapies (CBT), enabling me to work integratively according to each person’s individual needs. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based therapy that can help people process trauma and other distressing or overwhelming experiences.
Alongside my training, I have gained experience across NHS, third-sector and private settings, supporting adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship issues and life transitions.
I also have a background in business and executive coaching, giving me a particular understanding of the challenges that can accompany career change, leadership, professional identity and significant life transitions, alongside the personal and emotional difficulties that often accompany them.
