I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and of COSRT (College of Sexual and Relationship Therapy), I attend regular supervision sessions, and I am fully insured. I also work as a trauma informed therapist integrating body and mind.
As an integrative therapist I use many therapeutic models such as Psychodynamic, Systemic, CBT ( Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Transactional Analysis, Poly Vagal Theory, and TRE® (Trauma/Tension Release exercises), whilst holding at the core of my work the Key Concepts of Humanistic Theory.
