Effective psychotherapy goes beyond symptom reduction to develop healthy psychological capabilities, improve wellbeing and build longterm resilience
A healthier sense of self encourages a response to life that is more flexible, authentic and intentional
A bit about me
I am a Counselling Psychologist specialising in psychotherapy with individual adults in Sevenoaks and online. I have over 13 years experience in private practice, working with a diverse range of adults across the lifespan. I have worked in both the UK and South Africa.am registered with the HCPC and HPCSA, am a Chartered Member of the BPS, and accredited by the IEDTA.
I specialise in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy ISTDP which can be beneficial for individuals struggling with a wide range of psychological difficulties. Individuals who have not responded well to other forms of therapy, or who have a history of relapse, may benefit from ISTDP.
I also use Brain Working Recursive Therapy BWRT which can be particularly beneficial for specific trauma and phobias.
Many of the clients who contact me are self-motivated and curious individuals who are suffering, long to understand themselves and be understood, so they can heal, grow and flourish as the unique individuals they are.
I am warm, compassionate and down-to-earth and I work with empathy, integrity, and determination. I collaborate with my clients to foster a deeper understanding of their personal experience so they can resolve painful difficulties and reconnect with their inner resources.
Outside of my practice you will find me walking or running in nature, or with my head buried in a book. I love music, art and photography, and I approach problems with creativity as well as pragmatism. Becoming a psychologist made intuitive sense to me, and means I can do what I love best everyday.
"Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the flimsiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.”
William James, 1902
