My Approach to Helping

I work with individuals facing significant life challenges, including those under 18, either individually or with their families. My personal journey includes overcoming narcissistic relationships, step-parenting, raising my own children, and becoming the legal guardian of a niece with unique challenges. I provide support to professionals in the entertainment and judicial industries, families, adolescents, and those involved in the sex industry, particularly those navigating divorce, separation, abuse, or the impact of narcissistic relationships. Additionally, I am skilled in administering psychological assessments, such as the Rorschach, for organizations, courts, and private clients.

My therapeutic approach is both flexible and challenging, allowing clients to explore and heal at their own pace while receiving the necessary support and push when needed. I utilize Brainspotting as part of my therapeutic toolkit and am pursuing licensure in the U.S., where I am building on my experience within the currently unregulated UK landscape. I also maintain regular supervision within the UK to ensure the highest standards of care. I deeply understand the value of a strong therapeutic relationship, recognizing that progress is rooted in the client feeling safe and connected within the therapeutic space. Having experienced the benefits of counseling myself, I appreciate how confronting uncomfortable truths can lead to profound personal growth.
