I am an accredited Psychotherapist and Counsellor, Supervisor, CPD trainer and Coach working both online and in person for the past 20 years. My Practice is based in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. Former roles include University Lecturer, Forensic Psychology and Counselling and Course Lead to a Stage 4 BACP Accredited Gold Standard Counselling Diploma.
My philosophy is Humanistic-Existential adopting an Integrative approach including Person-centred, CBT, DBT, TA, Psychodynamic, Systemic, Transpersonal, Gestalt and Mindfulness-based practices.
The role of an existential psychotherapist is to help you focus on personal responsibility for making decisions.
Offering a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can share and explore present and past experiences building resilience and positive relationships with friends, parents, siblings, partners, children and work. Helping you with feelings of anxiety, feeling sad, depressed, internalised and externalised anger, the vacuum of loneliness, addictions including alcohol, substances and food, trauma, PTSD, bereavement, personality disorders, eating disorders, abuse, sexuality, compulsive and habitual lying, affairs and betrayals.
I believe each of us is unique with the potential for growth and development and can move forward in our own way. Your motivation to change and our client-therapist relationship provides space for healing.
