About me

I am a psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist and have trained in NHS secondary mental health care and in primary care IAPT services. I have had over 30 years of experience in running and managing my own business. Over the past 10 years or so I have been involved in a number of mentoring and counselling roles helping people from all walks of life. I live and work from home with my family on the South Northants, North Oxon, Warwickshire borders.

What is psychodynamic counselling?

Psychodynamic counselling is helpful for people who feel stuck in the way they feel about themselves, their relationships and life in general. Symptoms of depression and/or anxiety are common and often connect in some way to our life history, to our relationships and our sense of self-identity or self-worth. My work is based on an exploration of how your life events have informed who you are, combined with a search for meaning and a deeper understanding of why you feel as you do today. Working together with me will help you find the answers you crave and a way to make sense of your life and a way to move forward. Ultimately, our aim in working together will be to change the way you feel about yourself.

Therapy is a challenging but life changing experience.

It will involve challenging the way you think, reflecting on your own part in your dilemmas and being prepared to try new ways of thinking. Therapy is not about being given the answers to your problems but rather, through the experience of therapy, to find understanding and meaning and ultimately to change.
