ABOUT ME
My Journey
In 2012 I decided to retrain as a therapist and underwent four years training at the University of Hertfordshire gaining a level 7 post graduate diploma PgDip in Psychodynamic Counselling. Since then I have worked in a number of counselling settings, including the prison service, voluntary sector and working with the homeless.
Alongside running my own private practice since 2016, I work as a school counsellor at a local secondary school. My vast experience means that I am able to support people to move forward in their lives. I have a solid understanding both through my training and many clinical hours and settings of how various factors such as trauma, abuse, relationship changes, loss stress neglect and physical illness can impact upon who we become at different stages in our lives.
My Approach is psychodynamic which is one of the oldest and most established forms of therapy and is founded on the belief that early live experiences have a profound impact on who we become as adults, regardless of whether we are aware or not. By developing a greater understanding of process the psychodynamic approach aims to facilitate positive long lasting change in your life.
