I am a qualified and accredited addictions therapist with over 9 years experience of working alongside adults with substance use disorders and behavioural addictions, psychological disorders and underlying psychotherapeutic work.
I pride myself on having up to date knowledge of the drug and alcohol field and am able to integrate various therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Relapse prevention, to ensure that your treatment is tailored to your specific needs. My psychotherapy training allows me to work with a wider range of issues, ranging from trauma, developmental issues, attachment issues and existential matters.
My therapy style is flexible, with an emphasis on the relational elements which are evidenced to improve therapeutic outcomes. I tend to focus not only on the causation of the presenting problems but work towards finding appropriate solutions to both short- and long-term issues.
Having had experience of addiction myself, the space I offer is empathic and without judgment. I currently offer face to face therapy in Leamington Spa and also offer online counselling, via Skype and Zoom.
I'm a Integrative psychotherapist and Addiction Counsellor working from Leamington Spa in my private counselling clinic, as well as online sessions using the Zoom platform.
My practice integrates Cognitive Behavioural therapy, Person Centred Approach and Attachment Theory, exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviours within relationships with self and others. I will work with you collaboratively, at your own pace, exploring your struggles so we can work together to understand and resolve them. I have a passion for change and believe in people. I have been practicing for over 9 years, primarily in the treatment of addictive disorders but also with more general, human struggles. I have personal and professional experience of working through difficulties, which has proved beneficial to my clients in building trusting, effective therapeutic relationships.
I have over 9 years of experience working in private practice and within various types of clinics in the private and charity sectors.
I offer a confidential, caring and friendly service for adults facing a range of difficulties and emotional problems.
Admitting that sometimes we cannot manage our problems on our own can be the first step to bringing about changes within our lives. Whether it be relationship difficulties, feelings of isolation and loneliness, existential issues or a specific issue such as addiction or experienced trauma, or perhaps you may simply be looking for a safe, confidential space to share your worries and concerns, I offer a non-judgemental and understanding environment to help you though these times.
Having initially worked with people in crisis within residential rehabilitation settings. I believe that everyone has it within themselves to overcome the difficulties holding them back and begin to move forwards. My practice has developed into an integrative approach whereby I aim to tailor therapy to the individual needs of the client.
