Understanding your life more clearly and in a more balanced way can have a powerful, healing effect.

I am experienced in short-term solution-focussed counselling and open-ended long term therapy. I work with generalised anxiety, stress and panic disorders, performance anxiety and creative block. I have extensive experience with alcohol, drug, gambling and internet addictions, and with those experiencing the everyday difficulties of life in an increasingly mad world.

I have thirty years experience working within the creative industries and twenty years of working with addictions.

My clients range widely from adolescents suffering the burden of parental expectations to older clients finding difficulty in accepting life changes, and in search of more meaning and peace in their life.

My service is supportive, secure, non-judgemental and completely confidential.

Psychosynthesis is a psycho-spiritual practice that encompasses what is happening in the mind, the emotions and the body along with the client's spiritual condition.  A part of psychosynthesis practice is to hold clients 'bifocally', that is to say being mindful of what the client is presenting alongside what positive element is trying to emerge; new or stronger boundaries, acceptance, taking action, undergoing change, moving through a grieving process or just making sense of what has happened in life.

I facilitate this using a range of techniques, meditations, visualisations and mindfulness exercises that allow the client to explore themselves at their own pace and without engaging the defences that may otherwise prevent deeper understanding.

We will normally begin with an in-depth assessment, gathering relevant information about current circumstances, life experiences good and bad, and an appraisal of close family members, and this will often determine the direction of the work initially.

During the initial session we will discuss your reasons for coming to therapy and what outcome you are hoping for from the sessions. Towards the end of the session, depending on how you feel, we will need to agree either a set number of sessions or an open-ended arrangement for future sessions. 

I will make notes during the session but I don’t include names.  Notes are made on an electronic pad and are encrypted and password protected.
