Experience and Qualifications

Experienced therapist dedicated to supporting clients through compassionate and personalised counselling sessions.

How I Work

I use a blend of approaches, including talk therapy, creative counselling, and methods designed to support deep healing, such as ImRs (Image Re-scripting). Research shows that ImRs is just as effective as EMDR for working through difficult early experiences.

By using a variety of techniques, I help you stay present and connected with your thoughts and feelings. We will explore the mind-body connection because our bodies and emotions influence each other.

When you feel ready, we'll also look at your past experiences and relationships, as they play a big role in shaping how we see ourselves today.

I’m here to support you at your pace, and we’ll only explore what you’re comfortable with every step of the way.

Length of each session and frequency of Work Together:

Each session is 50 minutes. I typically work with clients on a weekly basis, but I also offer flexibility for both weekly and monthly sessions.

You can see me in person in Deal or connect online via the Teams platform, depending on what works best for you.

Qualifications

From my experience, I believe that having a connection between us is vital, and it's important for you to feel that you can trust me. While my qualifications and training don't create that connection, they help me use my counselling skills safely and effectively. I’m always learning and updating my training based on the latest research to provide you with the best support possible.
