Hello, my name is Abi. I am a UKCP registered Integrative Psychotherapist. This means I use an integration of theories and methods that all fall under a humanistic, relational and developmental approach. I currently work in both the NHS and private practice. Prior to training as a psychotherapist I was an Occupational Therapist and have worked in various NHS mental health settings.
My passion is in supporting people towards greater emotional wellbeing in order for them to live a more whole and fulfilled life. I have experience in working with a broad range of mental health difficulties such as anxiety and depression, and those living with the impact of childhood trauma.
I offer short and long-term therapy to people aged 16 years onwards. I have over ten years’ experience of working with a variety of difficulties. including bereavement, work-related stress, depression, anxiety, relationship problems and low self-esteem. I am particularly curious and experienced in exploring, with you, how past attachment trauma may be impacting on your current life: be it in relationships with others or within yourself. I offer a warm and compassionate approach whilst challenging the unconscious beliefs and processes which may be contributing to distress, low mood and anxiety. My aim in treatment is to help replace unhelpful and self-sabotaging dynamics inside of you with self-compassion, self-care and self- acceptance.
