ABOUT ME
Finding the right therapist to work with you can be a very
confusing and overwhelming process. In order to help you decide
whether I am the right therapist for you I have outlined my
qualifications and how I work here.
I am a UKCP accredited psychotherapist and Certified Transactional
Analyst (CTA). I hold a MSc in Psychotherapy awarded by the
Metanoia Institute in London. I also hold a Diploma in
Clinical Supervision awarded by the Iron Mill College.
My core philosophy and training is in Relational Transactional
Analysis, however I work in an integrative way with my clients and
draw on a number of different theories and interventions to
support our work together. I am specialised in working with
psychological trauma and we will shape our work together to
create safety and emotional regulation before exploring the things you choose to bring to therapy.
