How many sessions will you want?

Psychotherapy can be short or long term. The number of sessions will depend on the depth and complexity of the issues you want to resolve and, also, how long you want to be in therapy for. Some clients see great results from less than six sessions whereas others will feel the need to work through issues for more than a year.

Sessions for both individuals and couples usually begin weekly and meeting weekly continues until the bulk of the work is done when we might move to fortnightly and then finish or tail off gradually.

I implement regular reviews to ensure that clients are happy with the therapy as it proceeds.

My credentials

1st class BA in Rogerian person-centred counselling and psychotherapy from the University of Warwick, MSc in psychology with Distinction, and PhD in psychological, social and behavioural sciences. Qualified supervisor, former university lecturer teaching counselling, psychotherapy and psychology, certified retreat leader and intimacy coach.

The use of the title Dr in this directory listing relates to the member’s doctorate qualification. However, this does not imply a general medical qualification.

I am an integrative and relational counsellor and psychotherapist working with individuals and couples. My practice is trauma-informed from vast experience in a wide range of public and private services; when talking isn't enough, I incorporate somatic practices into my work, which can help you get out of your head and into your body.

How can psychotherapy benefit you?

I offer a safe environment in which you can:

- express your thoughts and feelings

- gain a deeper insight into the issues you face.

It is my aim to help you find better ways to manage, or bring about changes in the way you think, feel and behave to improve your emotional wellbeing.

Psychotherapy sessions are confidential. This means that you can talk about things you might not feel able to discuss with anyone else.

Psychotherapy

My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in the person-centred approach (PCA), which is situated within the school of humanistic psychology. In the PCA, the emphasis is on the therapeutic relationship between the counsellor and the client, so it is a relational type of therapy.

Intimacy Coaching

In 2020, I trained with the VITA Institute (Vital and Integrated Tantric Approach) as a sex, love and relationship coach, which has led to a more somatic and spiritual way of working.

Imago Relationship Therapy

In 2023, I undertook training in Imago Relationship Therapy, which provides couples with a dialogic tool for improved communication. Although I have practised Imago for many years, my recent commitment to becoming certified means that I am once again a trainee. Recent trainings always bring many benefits to clients.

I am a former higher education teacher at undergraduate and postgraduate level, teaching for a number of years in different universities. I mainly taught on humanistic and person-centred counselling degrees, and also taught Egan's Skilled Helper model. My teaching years mean that I have a breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding of a range of models and theories.

As a social psychologist, I understand the multiple factors - both external and internal – that might be contributing to your issues. We are all conditioned by our environments: familial, social, work and cultural. In the main, my approach is antithetical to the medical model because I understand people’s problems more in terms of what has happened to them or been done to them, rather than a problem with them as individuals. I help clients explore their experiences and make connections between past experiences and who they are today.

Every case is different, but sessions are always collaborative and based on an individual’s or couple's needs. I am always guided by my clients' needs as to the direction and pace that we go. I use all of my skills and knowledge to help people in the changes they want to make and am dedicated to supporting my clients throughout the therapy process.

Together, we'll decide what we will work on and how - depending on where you are on your journey and what you hope to achieve. You can feel confident that we will work out a plan that works for you and we'll be mindful of your progress and our process together, to ensure that you are happy with the service that you are investing in.

I have worked in many private and public services such as a childhood sexual abuse support service and a variety of prisons and addiction services. I am a trauma-informed therapist by experience. I am used to working with many models that bring about real and impactful change in people’s lives, so work integratively with a pragmatic approach. E.g., inner child work is both a powerful and empowering method of developing self-acceptance, and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs helps us to understand how we need to build firm foundations in the basics of life before the attainment of loftier goals. 

You are welcome to contact me by phone or email and I can then book you in for a complimentary introductory call via Zoom or on the phone. When we meet, you can tell me about what it is that you are seeking help with and I can tell you something about how we might work together. I don't use formal assessment and diagnosis as my approach is somewhat antithetical to the medical model. Our first meeting would be more like an assessment of our therapeutic relationship potential. After this first appointment, we would know if we were a good fit for therapy or I might be able to refer you elsewhere. If we decided to work together, we would find a regular, weekly slot.

Once we start the therapy proper, you will have ample space to talk through whatever is going on for you and I will help you to make sense of it. I offer a full hour of therapy rather than the traditional 50 minute therapy hour as I encourage clients to spend the last 10 minutes processing the session with me in order to ensure that it is a conscious process with a clear direction. I enjoy supporting clients to feel satisfied with their therapy and work hard to provide a good service.

Couples sessions are 80-90 minutes long and are recorded for supervisory purposes. Imago Relationship Therapy mainly comprises facilitation of the Imago dialogue. This is a powerful tool for communication, connection and change - helping couples move from the power struggle into a conscious partnership.

I offer intensive therapy weekends for couples, working from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon in an agreed location. This can be super-helpful for couples in crisis as well as those wanting to work on intimacy issues in the comfort of their own homes.

I also coach individuals and couples in relational issues such as dating and Tantric practices.

Whatever support you are looking for, the best place to start is by contacting me to set up an initial consultation where we can work out how we might work together, so do get in touch.
