About me and my therapy practice
Perhaps you’ve felt stuck for a while, or have been feeling that something isn’t right but can’t quite identify what that is. You may be anxious, depressed, have low self-esteem. Maybe you are struggling in relationships, or finding it difficult getting your needs met? You may have often felt that you don’t belong, or that you’re not supposed to be doing the work you do. I can help.
Perhaps you’d like to feel less frustrated, angry or alone? You may be experiencing grief, or struggling with addiction, you might have low libido, or want to explore your sexuality. It might be a family or historic issue you’d like to make sense of. It might be difficult for you to articulate exactly what's going on and that can feel overwhelming.
I can help you find ways to be more connected to yourself and others, to be able to express yourself fully. Working with me is completely confidential. I offer a non-judgemental environment to help explore and manage your difficult thoughts, feelings & experiences.
Choosing someone who you're comfortable with and can trust is probably of most importance. Clients find me easy to talk to and are relieved to be met by humanness, warmth and deep empathy. We will build a relationship that allows you to express what you have longed to say, but have not had the space to, yet. We'll find solutions that effect lasting change.
Affordable therapy online, is available with me via Zoom, why not try a session?
If you are finding it hard to make sense of the world, or your place in it and you'd like to talk through your concerns, do get in touch. To help with your decision, I offer a free 15minute telephone consultation; Email me to book your session. Whatever your concern, know that you will be accepted.
Do contact me and let me know how I can support you.
Practice description
I trained with the Psychosynthesis Model of Growth, Compassion Connectedness and Potential. I take a holistic view to healing, and understand that we are more than the sum of our experiences, difficulties, troubling thoughts and painful emotions.
I am actively present in the sessions. I will give opinions, I will tell you if I believe you to be fooling yourself and me, and I will hold your hand and your heart metaphorically and unconditionally, whilst doing so. I believe we walk this path together. I will walk with you with Empathy, Acceptance & Congruence.
My first session
Our initial meeting is an opportunity to get to know each other a little better and to decide if we'd like to work together. You will be able to ask questions about the way we might work, or raise any concerns about the process. It is also an opportunity to say a little about what's happening for you, and what brings you to seek help at this time.
Like all sessions, the initial session will be 50minutes online. To book your first appointment, you will need to pay for the session at the time of booking.
I will send you a copy of my working contract prior to booking for your to read through, and we can discuss that further when we meet if you have any questions. Once you've paid for the initial session, I will send you a Zoom link.

Practice description
I trained with the Psychosynthesis model of growth, compassion connectedness and potential. I take a holistic view to healing, and understand that we are more than the sum of our experiences, difficulties, troubling thoughts and painful emotions. We will work with what is troubling you, in the now. We may notice patterns immerging that may also take us to explore some of your history and family system.
I am actively present in the sessions. I will give opinions, I will tell you if I believe you to be fooling yourself and me, and I will hold your hand and your heart metaphorically and unconditionally, whilst doing so. I believe we walk this path together. I will walk with you with Empathy, Acceptance & Congruence. Together we will find the way.
I use an integrative approach and work with several modalaties, CBT for the mind, Guided imagery for the Soul, Gestalt for understanding the environment in which your issues occur. I also work with the body so you can begin to process and accept your feelings.
The best way to understand any of this, is to begin. You are taking the first step by reading to this point. Your next step is to send me a message to arrange a call.

Like all sessions, the initial session will be 50minutes. To book your first appointment, you will need to pay for the session at the time of booking.
If we decide we'd like to work together, we will agree how we wish to proceed; either with a short-term set number of sessions working towards a specific outcome, or an open ended relationship with review a review period.

About me and my therapy practice
I offer supervision to qualified therapists who are open to learning together how best to support your client work and therapeutic practice. Together we will support you to better understand both you and your client's needs; that may include your development and educative needs, keeping abreast of your personal world and practice load, as well as working explicitly with client material.
It is my experience that secure authentic relationships are built with honest communication. This builds trust. My supervision style is collegial and collaborative, based on respect. I use radical honesty and challenge for growth, that may allow us to explore your edges as a counsellor together. We will create space for you to fully explore limitations and challenges in client work, to be vulnerable with confidence to explore issues that arise, as well as celebrating your successes.
You may reflect on when you are tempted to objectify or collude with clients, what you avoid, exploring clients you are more comfortable with, the interventions you use and how you are impacted by the work. I am particularly interested in exploring the dynamic, unconscious process elements within the work. If this is something that interests you too, get in touch.
My supervision training was with North London Supervision and Training. I often use Millichamp's 'Shadow mapping' to help create a personal usable living map of client material. Supervisee's have found this way of working invaluable. It provides a bespoke, current blueprint for how to work with the client and their shunned identities.
Of course, we will help navigate your needs alongside developing your practice, and those of any organisation you may work alongside.
Practice description
A space to bring your worries and fears, your joys and successes. An opportunity to explore your developmental and practice needs. Collegial, radical, challenging, supportive.
My first session
Like all sessions, this session will be 60minutes online. It will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other, experiencing how it is to be in a room together. You might want to ask questions, you may also be ready to dive in and discuss clients you've been reflecting on. There may be something pressing you'd like to discuss, or a general support you're after.
You may begin by sharing about you and your practice, to reflect on the types of clients you see, or the types of clients you're drawn to. We may also explore any areas that you'd like to move in to, or something that may feel lacking in your practice.
It would be good to hear about your previous experience of supervision, particularly what worked and what didn't.
The first session will be for us to experience how the relationship works and if we'd like to continue.
