Experience:
With over 10 years of experience, my approach is rooted in creating a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings with comfort and security. My extensive training includes a Master's degree in Mental Health Counselling (MHC) from a University based in New York. My course work here focused on utilising Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychoanalytic Therapy in practice, all whilst incorporating a Humanistic approach to treatments. This rigorous two year full time program completed after a four year Bachelors degree, prepared me to work confidently within diverse clinical settings using these therapeutic approaches in real life practice.
Post training, and during my tenure at the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America Headquarters, I provided invaluable support and counselling to patients and their families, alongside facilitating support groups for teenage girls living with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. Additionally, my experience at a Women’s Health centre in New York involved diagnosing and treating clients with a range of mental health disorders, from anxiety and mood disorders to managing chronic health issues, stress, trauma, and life transitions.
Since relocating to the UK, I have continued my practice, offering mental health services to teens, young adults, and adults in a private practice setting. I also support pupils aged 11-18 at a private school.
