Within the counselling environment, it is important to provide a reflection of our thoughts and actions without judgement or assumptions. I believe this facilitates a trust in feeling safe to share what has become difficult to carry alone.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an experienced psychodynamically trained Counsellor and registered BACP member. I trained at Hertfordshire University and was awarded with a Postgraduate degree . I follow and comply with the BACP ethical framework and I subscribe to making sure that my continued professional developmental learning is up to date and of an approved standard.

I work within the following areas:

• Bereavement

• Anxiety

• Depression/low-mood

• Phobias and Addiction

• Separation/Divorce

I work alongside many individuals that experience a need to have a listening ear without judgement. This can have a huge impact on how we feel about ourselves and how we cope within daily relational dynamics.

I trained and qualified (in 2015) at the University of Hertfordshire (School of Psychology) - Post Graduate Diploma in Contemporary Therapeutic Counselling.  The modality focus was psychodynamic psychotherapy.

I am a registered BACP member and comply with the BACP ethical framework; I subscribe to keeping my continued professional developmental learning both up to date and to an highly-approved standard.

My aim is to understand my clients from past experiences, to present situations as well as looking forward; this can provide the capacity to make any necessary or wanted change. I find this way of working to be beneficial in keeping us grounded with what we already know about ourselves. This emotional state of acceptance helps us to understand why we are either in or keep falling into emotional ruts.

Our focus together is to enable our self-empathy to try and make a change to behaviours and habits. I listen without judgement or inputting my own agenda; reflection of our work together can give us an understanding of how we cope within relational dynamics and allow us the option of finding our own way forward with confidence.

Our practice, Stortford Therapy Space, is  situated in the centre of Bishop’s Stortford near to the town park. There are two local car parks situated in close proximity to our premises if you have travelled by car etc. Our space is both a calming and peaceful environment. We work within soundproofed rooms to provide confidentiality from the outside world.
