About Me

As an Integrative Therapist I draw on my knowledge of techniques from various theoretical schools, including Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Gestalt, Object Relations and the Transpersonal.

No two clients are the same, so these combined skills mean I am not bound to a singular approach, and enable me to adapt to your individual needs.

I believe the therapeutic relationship can offer a healing environment. I can provide you with a confidential and safe space, where you can discuss what is troubling you. As a Therapist I do not give advice, but offer an opportunity to reflect and explore your inner feelings and thoughts. My wish is to understand your experiences through your lens. This work can be difficult due to facing things you may naturally rather ignore or forget; however, I will be alongside you in this process, offering compassion and support.

My view is that by increasing our understanding of ourselves; how our present patterns of behaviour came into existence, we can grow and bring about change, which can ultimately empower us and enrich our lives.

Many of my own life experiences have led me to this role; I have an understanding of personal loss, change and the variety of challenges this presented for me. During some of these times I was fortunate enough to have the support of some experienced therapists who helped me to understand myself more, to grow as an individual, and to make positive changes to my life.

My private practice is based in Guildford, Woking, and Godalming, Surrey, where I offer face-to-face, open-ended or short-term therapy to adults (18+).

I have gained further experience by working for a young people’s charity, where I provided counselling to children and young adults (11-25). As well as through my volunteer placement within an NHS setting, where I provided short-term therapy to GP referrals.

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and am bound by the ethical framework and complaints procedures of this professional body.

I undertake regular continuing professional development (CPD), which enables me to develop and further my skills.
