My therapeutic journey began with a simple curiosity.
I am a qualified psychotherapist/counsellor and lecturer in counselling & psychotherapy at PCI College. I hold a BSc Honours degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling from the University of Middlesex. I have completed the Foundational Certificate in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy from Psychwire (Marsha Linehan). I currently co-facilitate skills acquisition groups with DBT UK & Ireland. The empirical basis of DBT is robust, supported by research that highlights its effectiveness in treating a range of mental health issues.
Using a collaborative approach I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment where each individual is supported to explore their life and any issue of concern. I have extensive knowledge of theoretical counselling & psychotherapy approaches and their application to real-world settings, specifically Second & Third Wave Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT/ACT/DBT).
As a DBT therapist my main objective is to help you build a life worth living.
DBT has been shown to help individuals by teaching skills to deal with emotional dysregulation, addiction, self-harm, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, relationship problems & PTSD. The evidence base shows it is an effective treatment for diagnoses including BPD (EUPD), ADHD & autism.
Comprehensive DBT treatment includes 1:1 sessions, group skills acquisition sessions* and access to phone coaching 6 days a week.
*4 Skills group modules: Mindfulness - Distress Tolerance - Emotion Regulation - Interpersonal Effectiveness. Therefore an additional skills group payment is required.
I live a mindful healthy lifestyle through my interest in philosophy, fitness, music and yoga. I have learned much about the mind-body connection and in particular the power of breathwork. The discipline and resilience required of sport coupled with my therapeutic journey have helped shape me as a holistic integrative therapist and I endeavour to create strong healing relationships with clients in a safe and nurturing environment.
I am experienced working with adult clients from diverse cultures, age groups, socio-economic backgrounds, genders, and sexual orientations.
