WHO ARE YOU?

I am a psychologist in doctoral training, which means that I am currently undergoing a PsychD training programme approved by the HCPC and accredited by the BPS. I have also graduated with a first-class honours undergrad diploma in psychology and counselling from the University of Roehampton. My practice is integrative and evidence based grounded various therapeutic modalities including Person Centred Therapy (PCT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I also have deep interest in the field of traumatic stress. I am a trauma sensitive therapist, and I specialize in complex dissociative disorders for my ongoing doctoral thesis.

I work with a various range of clients are continuously developing and managing meaningful therapeutic relationships. I am highly committed to my clients and their therapeutic process. I approach my life the way I approach my work – in a meaningful and genuine matter. I am warm, kind-hearted and curious by nature. I like to stay active and pursue areas of life that brings me peace and clarity, like being in nature and practicing yoga and mindfulness.

WHAT ARE YOUR CORE VALUES, HOW DO YOU WORK?

As a trainee doctoral psychologist, I offer in a warm, empathic, non-judgmental and confidential space, encouraging exploration and reflection. A setting where you can express yourself freely and safely. I am genuinely passionate about therapy. I believe that we all have the capacity to heal and process through emotional pain. However, I also acknowledge that life sometimes can provide us with experiences that may inhibit us from living authentically. The way I practice and live my life is deeply rooted within the humanistic philosophy, centering the notion of human potential. In my core I value honesty, integrity and authenticity. My aim in therapy is to reduce psychological distress and support you through any type of difficulties you are experiencing at the moment.

Humans are creatures of habits. We tend to follow the same ‘scripts’ again and again, as patterned behaviour make us feel secure. Our patterns are formed in our early experiences, but some can amplify unwanted feelings, thoughts and scenarios. We can break out of these patters by enhancing our self-awareness. I empower my clients to be the author of their own story. You will be the centre of the work. You are the best expert on yourself, your own experiences and your own unique path in life.  I am here to support your inner guidance containing your own personal goals and dreams. I provide high standards of care by empowering and embracing my clients individual journey, enhancing personal growth and promoting ownership of their lives by letting go of patterns that no longer serve their well-being.
