About

About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified Therapist/ Counsellor (terms are interchangeable) currently registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). I have 6+ years worth of experience in getting trained and working in mental health, mentoring. I  continue to attend professional development courses to broaden the horizons of my therapeutic skills.

In the session, I present as a facilitator of therapeutic exploration and understanding. Offering you security, acceptance, understanding and safety during the sessions through empathic active listening, and a judgment-free attitude. The purpose is to encourage self-reflection, introspection through challenging fault thoughts/feelings by offering alternative theoretical standpoints for your consideration to support you in understanding your current narrative. The eventual aim is to allow the client to get in touch with their inner self in order to actualise on their inherent potential and overcome obstacles. I work with a broad range of clients facing various struggles. 

The sessions observe the bio-psycho-social feedback within the client to identify their struggles (e.g, stress, trauma, anxiety, motivation, relationship issues etc.), help them become grounded and more aware of their own patterns of behaviour, feelings, and thought. Within this process, the increase in insight allows the clients an aware and grounded approach to addressing the situation at hand. The client centred and client led process is geared towards understanding your story, through understanding and embracing your current and past experiences.

By fostering therapeutic collaboration, clients are empowered through increased insight, self awareness.

Practice description

There may be a variety of different needs, goals, and obstacles. There is no one size that fits all, which is why I aspire to tailor everyone's journey as per what they bring along. I have a rich history of working in mental health which has exposed me to a variety of people and situations. I build on my breadth of knowledge and experience to best serve every client with a tool-kit of evidence based techniques in the safety of therapeutic exchange whilst respecting each clients’ confidentiality, boundaries.

Scientific research integrated with my practice has reflected how the mere act of listening to someone openly, in a non-judgemental manner can allow a channel of powerful catharsis for the one sharing. Therapeutic listening coupled with psycho-educating clients allows a deeper insight to develop for the client.

The sessions run on the basic principles of active listening which I aspire to impart throughout each client’s journey. In listening to you, I may at times enquire with questions or present challenging viewpoints, sensitively balanced within the boundaries of trust established with the client. The idea is to break down the larger challenges being faced by the individuals and present them as smaller chunks to be tackled through our sessions and outside of them. Thereby over time, enabling the client to extrapolate the skill of objectively approaching life's presenting situations and tackle them in a grounded manner.
