Experience and approach:
I work from a humanistic, person-centred foundation and have additional training and experience in Single Session Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I believe in taking a pluralistic approach recognising that different approaches, different things will be helpful to different people at different points in their life. No one size fits all and I will always work to support you as an individual.
I have particular experience in working with suicidal ideation, self-harm, young people who are care experienced, gender identity, trauma, mental health diagnoses, abuse, and self-esteem.
