Hello...

Hello, I'm Dena, happy to meet you.
Taking the decision to engage in therapy is a worthwhile step, and a wise and safe investment in YOU. You've likely been pondering on the idea for some time or perhaps something specific has triggered you in to taking actions now, either way, congratulations, a journey in to therapy is a cathartic approach to a sustainable future you.
I'm often asked why I became a Counsellor, and the simple answer is, despite having a broad spectrum career in the Corporate world as in operations leadership rolls, the people element of the business is what I truly enjoyed. I embarked on this incredible journey in to the World of Counselling and have been working in Therapy now for around 10 years, never having looked back once! I'd be honoured to take you on your personal journey through therapy and look forward to meeting you.

Therapy with me...

When you are feeling overwhelmed with difficulties in your life, talking to a trained counsellor or psychotherapist, in a safe, non-judgemental environment, can often help you find ways to resolve difficult issues. Counselling and psychotherapy can help you feel supported as you explore difficult situations, helping you identify solutions, and support you, as you cope with change.

Experience

I've experience in a variety of approaches which include Psychodynamic, Humanistic, REBT CBT, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Poly Vagal, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Attachment style analysis.

Flow is an NHS approved tDCS (transcranial Direct Current Stimulator) headset which stimulates the brain and helps restore activity, relieving depressive symptoms, amongst other such as BPD and OCD.
