"The Privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are."
C.G. Jung
My Philosophy
My philosophy is based on ‘trust’ and building a comfortable rapport, in a professional, safe, empathic, and non-judgemental environment. In such a way, together, we can carefully explore how you experience and relate to the world, yourself, and others, and on your road of self-discovery I will hold your hand as we travel together towards the light.
I am a client-centred psychotherapist and my approach is informed by individual need, as we work collaboratively, organically, and flexibly in a congruent and mutually respectful way.
I work with a deep appreciation of individuality and honour each person's uniqueness. Within my practice there is an openness, trust, and safety, where all attitudes, beliefs, values, and ways of being can be freely explored and discussed. In such a way, I affirm cultural humility and the dignity, worth, and value of all individuals, whilst nurturing their growth and development.
About me
I am an Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapist who works in private clinical practice at Trust Therapy, East Sussex, and a clinical supervisor with CRUSE Bereavement Support (Hastings and Rother).
I have experience in working with trauma, abuse, severe and enduring mental health, and Neurodiversity within my private clinic and at various organisations, and I have specialised in Bereavement Therapy as a Therapist for the NHS.
At the core of my method is the integration of psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, and I offer Psychotherapy and Analysis, Hypnotherapy, and Creative / Expressive Arts as therapeutic interventions, which are underpinned with a Jungian, psychoanalytic framework. For example, together we may consider dreams, stories and story-telling, creativity, play, visualisations, somatic (bodily) experiencing, breath work, plus, an exploration of metaphor and symbology, with a view to promoting a deepened sense of self, relational understanding, and healing, all of which contributes to the provision of individually tailored, jointly agreed, treatment.
I am a Professionally Accredited member of The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and a trainee member of the UK Council for Psychotherapists, I work ethically in accordance with the NCPS and the UKCP Ethical Frameworks, I am fully insured, and I comply with professional supervision and data protection requirements.
Starting Therapy
Before beginning the therapeutic journey, I offer an initial telephone consultation of approximately 15 minutes to identify your needs. This also helps to establish the best way of working for you and to identify what you would like to achieve throughout your journey.
I can also offer a trial session before you decide to go ahead with treatment, in order for us to meet and to ascertain if we are the right fit for one another.
Although I predominantly work with long-term clients in deep therapy, treatment can be brief (normally between 6 and 12 weeks), dependent upon individual choice. Session 1 is an Assessment, to establish your individual needs and how best I can support you. Sessions last 50 minutes.
PUBLICATIONS
Personal understanding and empathy of ourselves and others can help us to heal, and is part of the therapeutic journey. However, before therapy it can be helpful to consider what has brought us here at this time in our lives and what it means to us to have taken this brave step.
