About me and my therapy practice

You're very welcome to arrange an initial online meeting (free of charge) with me.

This will give you a chance to meet with me, and will give us both a chance to see how we might work together - and what next steps might be most helpful for you. Please get in touch if you’d like to arrange this.

I’m an experienced psychodynamic counsellor/therapist, working in private practice. I offer both individual therapy/counselling and also group therapy, through a low-cost group. I receive regular supervision from two supervisors.

My initial training was at the University of Brighton, where I completed the PGDip in Psychodynamic Counselling with Distinction. Subsequently, I completed the Institute of Group Analysis’ diploma course in London, leading to group-work practitioner status.

In other realms of life, I’m a published and produced playwright.

I hope you will feel able to send me an email or message. I look forward to talking with you.
