ABOUT ME

I am a qualified and experienced Therapist and adhere to professional code of ethics and good practice. 

​

Working as a Manager for NHS Teams and as a Wellbeing Lead for businesses has facilitated the development of my skills and to become more confident in tailoring my approach to individuals. I have years of experience across various teams within the NHS and external businesses. Over the years I have worked with countless amounts of patients in hospital, educational and community settings. I have a vast range of experience working with a range of presentations from psychiatric, psychological, and societal issues. Working in a range of environments and pressures, has given me the opportunity to apply different theoretical models in practice and working in an integrative way.

 

I believe that it is vital to approach situations with sensitivity for individuals to explore their weaknesses and limitations, as well as their strengths and opportunities. I believe in the importance of a person-cantered approach and utilizing various theories and concepts. By exploring and understanding an individual’s life with an open mind, we can explore and recognize underlying themes with greater clarity.
