Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am an Accredited and Registered Person-Centred and CBT Therapist (BACP Accredited), as well as a Certified Schema Therapist (ISST) with extensive experience in working with complex trauma, PTSD, attachment issues, and autism. I also support clients dealing with anxiety, anger, and depression.
My training includes:
• Mentalization-Based Therapy for Families (MBT-F)
• CBT and Trauma-Focused CBT for PTSD (Anna Freud Centre)
• ADOS-2 Assessment Training (Autism)
• Motivational Interviewing (Tavistock & Portman)
I work collaboratively with clients to facilitate change, process grief, overcome trauma, build resilience, and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns. I also provide parental support and guidance.
My approach is client-led, motivational, and strength-based, tailored to help individuals achieve their personal goals. I draw on skills from CBT and DBT to support emotional regulation and cognitive change. For those navigating difficult life events, I offer a non-directive counselling approach that supports healing through acceptance, insight, and self-compassion.
I understand that beginning therapy can feel daunting. However, having a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental space to explore your experiences can be a powerful turning point. Talking about what’s troubling you can help normalise your experience, offer clarity, and support meaningful and lasting change.
I hold a first class degree in BA Hons in Person-Centred counselling and psychotherapy, (Middlesex University) and went onto receive an A in both my certificate and Diploma in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (accredited through the University of the West of Scotland UWS). I have completed training in Motivational Interviewing at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.
Due to my background in working with trauma I completed training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills (DBT) and training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (TF-CBT) throught the Anna Frued Center.
Most recently I completed the training in Mentalization Based Therapy for families (MBT-F)(Anna Frued centre) and I am a certified Schema Therapist (ISST).
It can be a very difficult decision for some clients to seek support but often this can be life changing and I look forward to supporting on this journey.
