Why I became a Therapist

It would make sense for me to tell you that I trained to become a therapist because I like helping people, which is true, but it runs much deeper than that for me.

I have been in and out of therapy and mental health services since the age of 14, therefore I know what it is like to sit in that client chair. I also know what it feels like to be stuck in a revolving door of temporary treatments and hopelessness. I had seen multiple therapists before I found my private therapist as a requirement of my education and training. The time I spent with my chosen therapist quite literally transformed my life.

I became a therapist ultimately because I want to show my clients the same kindness, compassion, and genuine care that my therapist showed me. I endeavour to show up to our sessions as my most authentic, unapologetic, imperfect self, and hope that I can encourage you to do the same.

My Training and Professional Experience

I have completed a BSc in Mental Health Psychology, and an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have extensive history of working within NHS and private inpatient and community mental health services as a Mental Health Practitioner and Care Coordinator.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), and follow a set code of ethics and professionalism, so you can rest assured that I practice to the highest levels of educational content, professional commitments, and morals.

During my training and professional work experience, I have identified areas in which I specialise in, supporting the specific concerns or needs of my clients. As an integrative therapist, I am trained to work with a wide range of presenting difficulties, so if you still resonate with my morals, values and way of working, but don't see your specific concern listed below, please don’t hesitate to get in contact.

I have developed a passion for working with clients around areas of attachment, trauma, relational difficulties, and complex emotional needs.

Getting started

Specialties

As an adult in my 20's, I have undergone hours of my own personal therapy, to better understand why my experiences have shaped the way I think about myself, others, and the world around me. I was stuck in a cycle of self loathing, entering relationships with people who didn't value me, and felt hopeless that things would or could get better.

My personal experiences have led me to having a keen interest in working primarily with other young adults in their 20's and 30's, around topics of trauma, anxious attachments, relationships, unhelpful patterns of coping, and emotion regulation. All of these topics interlink in some way, but the basis of my work is to help you make ACTUAL, POSITIVE change towards becoming the best version of yourself, whilst living authentically, and processing all of the sh*t we were (or were not) taught during our childhood.

I could write a long list of jargon here with what areas I specialise in, but instead I will summarise by asking you some questions:

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns of behaviour within relationships, or are you worried that the relationship will ultimately come to an end and you will be abandoned or rejected?
Do you struggle to regulate your emotions in times of stress or conflict?
Have you endured some form of trauma or abuse?
Do you struggle with your self-worth, self-esteem, or confidence?
Do you use self-harm or addiction as a coping mechanism?
Are you tired of feeling unhappy, or feeling as though you don't know what direction your life is heading in?
Do you feel anxious in your relationships, and does this impacts how you communicate asking for your needs to be met?
Do you find societal pressures, or pressures from your family, about what you're doing with your life overwhelming?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, firstly I want to say I HEAR YOU, and secondly, I can help.
