Summary

I am a qualified, BACP registered Integrative practitioner with a dedicated background in delivering safe, person-centred emotional support across online, telephone, and face-to-face platforms. I utilise multiple modalities, adapting my approach to meet diverse client needs ranging from CBT based interventions to long term psychdynamic work. Grounded in trauma-informed care, I have built a strong clinical foundation through my work with Bath Mind, and effectively managing my own caseload in my own private practice. Confident in navigating clinical governance and safeguarding, I am adept at working within structured, time-limited frameworks to effectively support and empower clients. This knowledge coupled with my own lived experience in neurodiversity allows me to adopt unique perspectives in the therapeutic relationship.
