About me
Hi - I'm a warm, friendly, qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor in Sunningdale, for anyone aged 18 and over with my own dedicated therapy room in Sunningdale but serving Sunninghill, Ascot, Virginia Water, Windsor and locations further afield.
​
My background is in HR and personal development with extensive personal experience in the complex and isolating world of SEN and neurodivergence. Both have resulted in a strong empathy and natural desire to support people on their unique paths of life and to help with strategies to promote emotional health. Hearing people's stories genuinely humbles me every day.
​
I also have a strong interest and additional training in childhood trauma (abuse, neglect, boarding school incidents, adoption) and how that can unconsciously impact adult life through anxiety, depression, relationship issues and low self esteem.
​​​​
My approach is 'pluralistic' which means a blend of theories and techniques to help make sense of whatever is troubling you. Sometimes people want a neutral and supportive space to be heard while others may want a more solution based approach, or a combination of the two.
This approach combines Person Centred (listening to you as an individual), Psychodynamic (exploring your past) and CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) because everyone is very different in the journey they've been on and what works for them.
