My Portfolio

An experienced female therapist for confidence building in Norfolk

I started my journey supporting vulnerable people over ten years ago, with a natural ability and keen desire to provide care that was truly from the heart. I had been interested in Mental Health for a number of years, which I believe was partly due to the undeserved stigma and my passion to challenge it. I like the fact that there is no 'one size fits all,' and different people require different approaches, which is where I felt I had something unique to offer.

I went on from supporting the elderly to supporting male adults with forensic backgrounds and co-existing Mental Health issues, which gave me great insight into the benefits that non-pharmacological treatments can have on the mental wellbeing of individuals. I then moved on to being a Community Mental Health Nurse, which I found highly rewarding and gained great satisfaction in building up therapeutic relationships and supporting adults during challenging times of their life. I felt honoured to be part of their recovery journey. I also completed my DBT training at this time, and witnessed great results from this form of therapy being delivered to people. I moved into primary care as the 'Specialist Nurse,' offering support and guidance to people of all ages, specifically around their mental health and challenges that are often linked. This role within a surgery was highly beneficial for people of all ages, and it was then I recognised that I had something unique to offer. From then, I completed further training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and am excited to be able to share my knowledge of both clinical and holistic expertise to those who deserve it; you.

I have seen first-hand the impact that things such as time, approach, flexibility, commitment and continuity can have on a persons recovery and I endeavour to provide a safe, comforting and friendly space where we can work together, tailoring the support offered to your individual needs.

Clincal Background

Experienced with a variety of age groups

One of the key advantages of seeking support with Inner Releaf, is my extensive experience working with individuals across a wide range of age groups. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, from all walks of life, allowing me to develop a deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges that each age group may face. This breadth of experience has not only honed my ability to effectively tailor therapeutic techniques to individuals of all ages, but it has also equipped me with a diverse set of skills and strategies to address a wide array of mental health concerns. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself, your child, or an older family member, I am confident that my experience working with various age groups will enable me to provide the compassionate and effective support that you are looking for.

I believe in treating the whole person, addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes. By incorporating evidence-based practices from my clinical experience and alternative healing techniques, I aim to promote your overall well-being and help you achieve lasting positive change. Having talking therapy with me means receiving personalised care that recognises your individuality and supports your journey towards healing and self-discovery. Whether this means we set goals, go with the flow, or set clear topics to discuss, it is entirely led by your needs. Feedback from people I have worked with in the past have remarked at how easy I am to talk to and how comfortable they feel opening up and discussing sensitive topics. Each and every person I work with will feel valued, supported, and heard. I see you and I want to hear what you have to share.
