About me and my therapy practice

I have fifteen years experience working as a counsellor and psychotherapist within the NHS and privately working with individuals and couples short and long term.

My approach to my work is integrative psychodynamic and influenced by different therapeutic philosophies.

Psychotherapy offers you a place to explore difficulties you may be having in your personal life with someone who is trained neither to judge nor advise you, but to explore and help you unlock feelings which may have been hidden for years.

There are many reasons for seeking counselling, you may be feeling anxious and depressed, have problems with your feelings, thoughts and behaviour in relationships with others. You may have had a sudden life-crisis, bereavement or relationship breakdown. You may feel you lack direction and your life makes no sense. Past and present relationships will be explored so that you may begin to feel less anxious and confused. I work with the basic understanding that we are all unique and our experiences from our early developmental years play a large part in our relationships in later life.
