I am a highly qualified and dedicated professional with extensive experience in providing therapeutic support to diverse client populations. My practice is backed by comprehensive insurance coverage, a clear Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, and certification from The National Counselling Society (NCS).

In addition to my formal qualifications, I am committed to continuous professional development (CPD) and have completed specialized training in several key areas. Specifically, my expertise lies in working with children and young adults, utilizing the highly effective sandy therapy approach to address their unique needs. Furthermore, I am well-versed in trauma-focused therapy, having received specialized training in this area.

My expertise also extends to providing compassionate support to individuals dealing with abuse and domestic violence, guiding them toward healing and empowerment. I have a proven track record in assisting clients struggling with suicidal ideation, low self-esteem, and complex relationship dynamics, including couples and parental relationships. My experience includes working with children and young adults on a wide range of challenges, including bereavement, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), anxiety, panic attacks, and various fears, such as phobias and restless legs syndrome.

Having completed the Bereavement Support Foundation Course offered by Cruse Bereavement Support, I am well-equipped to provide sensitive and effective bereavement support to individuals and families coping with loss.

I take pride in my ability to establish strong rapport with clients and create a safe, non-judgmental space for their healing journey. My approach is informed by evidence-based practices and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I have received positive feedback from both clients and supervisors, highlighting my commitment to delivering high-quality therapeutic interventions. With a passion for helping others and a wealth of experience, I am dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of those I serve.
