Social Constructionist Therapists in York, England

I am a registered Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) Practitioner Psychologist, and am on the British Psychological Society Register of Applied Psychology Practice Supervisors (RAPPS). I have been in Private Practice in Central London for nine years. Before spending ten years in full-time study and training in London universities and NHS Trusts to qualify as a psychologist, I spent a decade travelling, mainly around Asia, studying Eastern psychology and philosophy. Thus, I have a rich lens of psychological perspectives through which I understand and work with the mind. Psychoanalytic thinking underpins my approach to therapy, which is always tailored to suit the unique needs of each person. The therapeutic work then adapts as those needs change over time. You will find my approach to be naturally compassionate, and non-judgemental.

Welcome! I offer a broad skillset, and I work with professionals in high trauma areas and members of the public alike. Whether you are looking to focus on specific elements of your life such as career progression, or you are looking to balance your daily life, I am here. As a multiply qualified professional, I carefully blend best practice from multiple disciplines to co-create solutions, structure, therapeutic or creative space for you; as you need it. The time is yours; unhurried, nourishing, joyful, or structured and dynamic as you wish; book in for a free consult and we can explore what it is you are seeking together.

I am an optimistic and accepting therapist, enthusiastic about working with clients in collaborative ways, seeking to uncover and understand, and finding new ways of changing your life and living with fulfilling and rewarding relationships, families and friends. Over the years I have come to appreciate the therapeutic relationship as deeply healing, a safe space for clients to reflect and explore.

York is one of England's most historically significant cities, with a thriving tourism economy, two universities—the University of York and York St John University—and a housing market that has become increasingly expensive relative to local wages, creating financial stress for many permanent residents behind the city's prosperous surface. NHS mental health services are provided through Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust, and a private therapy sector serves those seeking faster access to care. The city's large student population creates significant demand for young adult mental health services, and the University of York's counselling centre is an important resource for enrolled students. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, relationship difficulties, financial stress, and the particular pressures of living in a highly sought-after city where the cost of staying is increasingly prohibitive for those not working in well-paid sectors.
