A few words about me
About Me
Throughout my journey, I have accumulated a diverse range of work and life experiences, each contributing to my growth and expertise. My interest in mental health originated from my own personal experience and motivated me to embark on my training, which spanned three years at Inter-Psyche, a counselling and psychotherapy training centre within the NHS, accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. During my placement, I had the privilege of working with survivors of rape and childhood sexual abuse, bereaved clients in a hospice, and young adults in a college setting.
Currently, I manage my own private practice, offering both face-to-face and online therapy to adults, from my therapy room based within Strood Sports Centre, and continue to support survivors of rape and sexual abuse through a registered charity. The variety of my work has instilled in me the importance of flexibility and non-judgmental listening. We each navigate our unique life journeys, shaped by our individual perspectives.
Having spent considerable time as a client myself, both for personal growth and as a training requirement, I have gained a profound understanding of the therapeutic experience from the client’s viewpoint. This insight enhances my ability to empathise with and support my clients effectively.
