About me

background

Alongside completing my postgraduate training at The University of Brighton, I also work as a qualified Social Worker with both adults and children.

Through this avenue, I have been able to support individuals in what might be some of the more challenging periods of their life- such as mental health crises, chronic and acute illness, and family and relationship issues. I have also worked with a broad range of clients in a charitable/ low-cost counselling service. 

Although my therapeutic training was humanistic and I use an existential framework- I take an integrative approach, meaning I am flexible in my framework depending upon the unique needs of the person I am working with. This allows for a more holistic approach to working with each person and honours their individuality.  

As a registered member of the BACP I adhere to their ethical framework. This means a commitment to upholding professional standards, attending regular supervision and committing to ongoing continuing professional development.
