Meet our Clinical Lead. Rehanna is an integrative psychologist who specialises in humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioural therapies. Because of the breadth and depth of her training, she is able to tailor her work to your individual needs.
Tell me your story so we may work together to influence its direction. But before you decide to book a call or session, please review the breadth and depth of my training and experience.
I am the Founder and Clinical Director of Phinity Therapy, with a passion for mental health, whether that be working with clients, writing, or talking about it. I am qualified in Psychology and Counselling Psychology and possess several years' clinical experience in the private sector, NHS, and charity sector. I currently work with individuals and couples experiencing a range of issues, and what some call psychiatric disorders.
I am a highly ethical practitioner, holding memberships with, and guided by the ethics of the British Psychological Society (BPS), British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and SEA (Society for Existential Analysis).
I respect diversity, having worked with individuals of varying backgrounds, ages, cultures, and complexity. My approach is philosophically pluralistic, and I keep a very open mind. In this way, I work with you, aiming to understand how you wish to work, and offering recommendations and guidance so we can collaboratively create a treatment plan that is individualised to you, and your needs and goals.
I am also integrative, this means I am trained in various psychological approaches and can use my expertise to integrate what works well for you based on your therapeutic needs.
Another important aspect of my practice is the therapeutic relationship. The research highlights that the relationship between us can be just as, and possibly even more important than the therapeutic approach(s) we use. This is not a surprise when we consider that we are always in relation with others. It is with this intention I have often observed success with my clients.
My speciality is people, and all that makes us think, feel, and act in the ways we do. I have a particular interest in the pervasive and ever-prevalent issues of trauma and low self-esteem - the latter of which I am currently researching at doctoral level.
With you, I will attempt to facilitate a relationship of trust, such that you will not feel misjudged, and will feel my genuine empathy. This is a unique space in which you will feel heard, held, and safe. It is here that I hope to nurture open and honest dialogue, so we may explore your concerns, anxieties, pain, trauma, or sadness, and uncover issues you might normally avoid because they feel threatening. This safe confrontation together will allow you to learn how to process your challenges in a helpful way which is incredibly powerful, and can change how you relate to yourself, others, and your world, thereby offering movement toward healing, growth, and.....joy.
With me, you are entering into a relationship with the kind of practitioner who is incredibly passionate about continual development, keeping in touch with the latest research and ideas so I can do my best to help you develop in ways that best serve you. And so, I hope to encourage your actualisation, your movement toward the version of you that you can, want, and deserve to be. You can be assured I will do my best to competently guide you.
If you’re ready to begin your therapeutic journey, you’re welcome to book a free consultation with one of our therapists. During your call, they will explore what you’re hoping for in therapy and help you find the therapist who feels right for you - whether that’s me or another member of our team.
