I have over 15 years of practicing as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor in various counselling services as well as in my private practice. During my studies and working, I have developed a strong understanding of mental health issues, diversity, intersectionality, homelessness, multiple traumas, loss, grief, loneliness, and emotional and physical pain. I have specialised in a cultural therapy. I have an extensive managerial experience as well as supervision in different work settings. I have always promoted an inclusive, relational, holistic, strength based, and trauma informed practices.
How I work:
I believe that in a safe environment you can be able to explore and understand issues you are facing. Through psychotherapy you will learn to make your choices and decisions and take control of your life. The aim of psychotherapy is to provide you with an opportunity to work towards a satisfying and meaningful life.
My role as a therapist is to facilitate the therapeutic work by creating a safe, non- judgemental and confidential environment, for the clients.
I am an existential psychotherapist, but I use an integrative approach to meet my client’s needs.
I use an Embodiment approach to bring awareness to breath, body sensations and movement as a way into feeling and unconscious process and communications. Sometimes feelings are hard to access/ name where you ‘tune in’ to yourself through awareness of body process and symptoms.
I also use creative approaches like drawing, colours, imaginations, and visualisations as a way of enabling you to express your emotions.
I offer short- and long-term psychotherapy and counselling. I work online, telephone and face to face.
I abide the Ethical framework and code of conduct of UKCP.
