I am an integrative therapist, which means my work draws on theory and practice from multiple fields of counselling and therapy, including attachment\/psychodynamic-oriented approaches, Embodied Relational Therapy (ERT), Trauma-informed Stabilisation Therapy (TIST) and Gestalt.\u00a0My personal experience of counselling began many years ago, and encompassed a number of different therapeutic modalities, which informed my decision to train as an integrative practitioner.<\/p>\n
I strive to offer a space that is genuinely welcoming for everyone, which means working in an anti-oppressive, inclusive way, whilst acknowledging that we all have prejudices and blindspots, and that overcoming them is a life-long piece of work. I am of mixed heritage, living outside the country where I was born and raised, and I am fascinated by the work of finding one\u2019s place in the world, and how this shows up in issues of identity, belonging, purpose, marginalisation, estrangement and non-normative living. My pronouns are she\/her.<\/p>\n
\u200bI previously worked for four years as a counsellor at Watford Women\u2019s Centre (in Watford, UK), with female survivors of domestic abuse. I hold a British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)-accredited foundation certificate and postgraduate diploma in integrative counselling from the Minster Centre in London, one of Europe\u2019s leading integrative counselling and psychotherapy training institutes. I am a registered member of the BACP and have full professional indemnity insurance.<\/p>\n
