PSYCHOTHERAPIST for couples & Individuals | LONDON | SOMERSET | ONLINE

Welcome

I am a UKCP accredited Psychotherapist working with both individuals, couples and small groups. I work in an integrative way, which means I am trained in a number of therapeutic approaches which I combine to find the most useful way to work with you as an individual.

My style incorporates psychodynamic, humanistic, body psychotherapy, attachment theory and contemporary relational psychotherapy models. I have an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy and a certificate in Relational Couples Therapy. I am trained in EMDR. At present I am undertaking training as a Clinical Supervisor. I am an accredited and full clinical member of the UKCP abiding by their code of ethics in practice.

I currently work in private practice and with the Trauma Foundation South West. Previously I have worked in the NHS and The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I work with a wide range of issues including relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, sexual difficulties, burn-out, low self-esteem, identity issues and PTSD. I am a Director of the group practice The Thought House Partnership.

Background

Before training I completed a Business degree and co-founded a production company specialising in multi-artist benefit concerts. I went on to manage projects at a global maternal health advocacy organisation. In 2010 I decided to train as a Psychotherapist. I have always felt drawn to exploring what is happening beneath the surface. In therapy, the usual social rules don’t apply. It is non-judgmental, supportive, challenging and honest. As part of my training I undertook therapy myself, so I understand what it is like to be in the other chair. Starting the process can be daunting, but the experience of getting to know the subtle workings of your inner world can be transformative.

Therapeutic theory is always developing and I am committed to increasing my knowledge and absorbing new ways of working by keeping up to date with the latest clinical research.
