I worked in the corporate world for many years before deciding to finally do the thing I’d always wanted to do; work with people to make changes to their lives. What’s more, I had sought counselling and coaching myself at various points in my life and realised what a game-changer it could be. I studied psychology many years ago, and in 2016 I retrained as an integrative psychotherapist and more recently as a transformational coach. Having over 10 years experience now, I supervise other therapists and students to ensure safe working practices and support personal and professional growth.
I aim to empower my clients with a toolkit of skills and coping strategies, a renewed outlook, and increased self-awareness to help with life’s challenges outside of the therapy room. I have trained in many different styles of therapy and coaching, but what is more important than any tool or skill is the ability to deeply listen, and provide the space for you to understand your own thoughts and feelings in a way you may not get in any other relationship. This is where therapy and coaching is a fundamental part of the change process.
Therapeutic coaching as a blended approach can help you to achieve your future-focused goals, while providing the benefits of traditional therapy. It can give you clarity about where you are now, where you would like to be and what is getting in the way, whilst providing you with effective tools to gently work through those obstacles (which we often come across along the way), so that you can move towards the change you want to experience.
My experience of working within private practice, the NHS, mental health settings and the business world means I am able to draw on many approaches when helping my clients find ways to change. As an Integrative therapist I am able to integrate the many different modalities I have studied in order to create a tailor-made approach to whatever you are needing support with. I often use tools and techniques from CBT, mindfulness practises, inner child work, transactional analysis, creative therapy, visualisations, coaching, and many more. No two clients are the same, therefore no two ways I work are the same.
If you want to make changes to your life but you’re unsure how, feel free to get in touch to explore how we can work together to start the journey.
I work with AXA, Aviva, Vitality and BUPA.
