ABOUT ME

THERAPEUTIC APPROACH

I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist and academic researcher. I have had the privilege of training in several different therapeutic modalities including narrative and systemic therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and third wave approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and compassion focussed therapy (CFT). The approach I utilise is often integrative and based on the individual.

AREAS I WORK WITH

INITIAL PHONECALL

If you wish to pursue therapy then the first step is to have a brief telephone conversation which will give me a better understanding of what your current difficulties are and how I may be able to help. This also gives you an opportunity to ask any preliminary questions you may have about the therapeutic process. Following our initial phone call we will arrange our first session together.

OUR SESSIONS TOGETHER

During our first session we will agree how many sessions may be most useful and what the focus of therapy will be. Together, we will aim to generate an understanding of the difficulties you are most concerned about and plan the therapeutic approach accordingly. We will see each other weekly for 50 minute sessions online, typically this will be at a set day and time each week.

I work with adults who are experiencing difficulties related to the below areas:

Ageing and age related adjustment
Anxiety
Depression
Shame and low-self esteem
Cancer
Adjusting to long term illness
Issues and challenges related to caring for someone (e.g. with a long term health condition or a diagnosis of dementia)
Peri-natal and post-natal difficulties
Issues around culture, race and identity (in particular, challenges specific to South Asian people)
