Approach
Life can be tricky and I am here to help.
Practicing as an Art Therapist and Counselling Psychotherapist, I help individuals of all ages explore their needs in a safe and confidential space. I am friendly and aim to create a safe space to allow exploration of feelings and experiences.
I believe in a collaborative approach, tailoring sessions to your unique needs. We can work together to make sense of challenges, using creative methods if and where helpful. This ensures therapy feels relevant and really personal.
For children, I involve parents as much as possible, sharing insights to support progress at home while maintaining confidentiality.
I am also an experienced Clinical Supervisor offering this service to other practicing therapists. In my supervisory role I draw upon my 13 years experience of running a large therapeutic service where I managed and supervised a large team, being part of operations and aspects of strategic development in accordance with up to date best practice. The supervisory relationship is very important and I pride myself on being non judgemental and creating a safe space to explore the work.
My main approach is heavily underpinned by Psychodynamic theory. Psychodynamic therapy essentially means that I support exploration of how our past relationships and experiences can create patterns which impact how we experience the world and relate to others today. As I have developed my skills over the years I now work more integratively, meaning I draw from multiple methods and modalities with emphasis on a humanistic and person centred approach.
I believe in offering accessible support and will travel to offer sessions to those who are unable to access my therapy studio in Berkhamsted. I offer this in Tring, Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead, Watford & St Albans.
In addition to formal therapy I also offer other wellbeing services, such as drum circles and other creative workshops.
Initial consultations are free.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch to see if I may be the right fit for you. I am able to signpost to other services or charities if needed.
