I have over a decade of professional experience in helping adults and young people (under the age of 18) overcome many social and emotional issues including working with named mental health diagnosis and conditions. I have extensive experience and ability to work with a variety of Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health conditions including depression, gender identity, stress and anxiety, anger, low self-worth and self esteem, bereavement, change and poor coping strategies such as self harm, para-suicidal behaviour and ideation and illicit substance / alcohol misuse. Treatment can take a number of different forms; I work alongside each person in order to create an intervention that's tailored to meet their own specific needs. I work in an integrative way which includes Solution Focused Brief Therapy techniques, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Reflective Practice including Reflective Questioning and Active Listening. I also incorporate family systems work into my practice. I am fully committed to my own personal and professional development which includes a commitment to regular clinical supervision as I believe this is key to being a competent practitioner. I am only too aware of the fear involved in asking for help. I believe strongly, that by working alongside each other together we can process your fears and move you into a happier, more confident and productive place in your life. In my experience the journey out of problematic behaviours, social, family and general life entanglements is difficult to resolve alone, I am here to help, and offer my services and experience to assist you with finding your way forward.
