About Me

           I am CJ, a Master of Arts creative integrative psychotherapist and counsellor.

​​

 I work with a range of issues including  low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, anger, relational difficulties, feeling stuck, and wanting to approach challenges in a new way. 

​

I have a wealth of experience of working with people who have had difficult early life events, including early trauma and early relational trauma, and understand how this can set up patterns of behaviour or relationship difficulties which can affect responses to new or challenging situations, as well as to everyday ones. 

​

I provide specialised psychotherapy and counselling for adopted adults. This work focuses on exploring your identity, your attachment and relationship patterns, and the unique experiences of being adopted. My work in adoption services has given me deep insight into the complex emotions and challenges that adopted adults may face. Whether you're looking to make sense of  your adoption story, processing early experiences or exploring your relationships, I provide a safe and supportive space for this important work.

​

I am an EMDR Therapist in training, which means I use EMDR therapy to help my clients process painful and difficult memories and experiences. 

​​​

I have a background in nursing, in both mental and physical health. I therefore have an extensive knowledge of mental and physical ill health, and how this can impact every day life.

​

I am a member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and abide by their

Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.

I am a member of The Institute for the Arts in Therapy and Education (IATE).

I am BUPA Registered, working as part of a specialist network that provides therapeutic services to clients who have BUPA Health Insurance.
