I am the principal therapist at Synergy Counselling Services. I pride myself on basing my counselling practice on developing a deep rapport with individuals in order to develop insightfulness, self-awareness and compassion for their complex feelings, emotions and individual stories. This helps those I work with make lasting, positive and healthy changes in their lives.
I am fully committed to my ongoing professional development in terms of in-depth training and education so as to utilise a variety of therapeutic interventions, modalities, and theoretical orientations to support positive and long-lasting change.
I will take the time to understand your individual needs and concerns and use the most appropriate counselling methods to help clients achieve a greater level of wellbeing. All sessions are strictly confidential.
People seek therapy in order to acquire skills/knowledge and strategies to better manage their issues and gain a greater sense of well-being. I am experienced in working with individuals, children and adolescents dealing with a variety of issues.
Originally training as a social worker, I provide evidence-based therapies to help individuals, children and adolescents facing the normal challenges of life, as well as those healing from painful and traumatic experiences. I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Accredited Practitioner in EMDR for children and adults. I am trained in using EMDR with Attachmetn based presentations which is a highly effective mode of working.
I am committed to ensuring those I work with have access to a high quality and effective service. Further to this I have the ability/qualifications to provide Clinical Supervision to a range of allied health professionals. I am also a registered accredited EMDR practitioner.
