I am currently offering online or telephone sessions due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation. 

Psychotherapy offers a unique space where you will find warmth, support and a listening ear. A place to reflect and feel heard. Psychotherapy can help you to feel less alone. You may find a place to overcome challenges, to try out new ways of relating, and to process painful or traumatic memories from the past.

Life can sometimes feel difficult, and like there is no-one to turn to.

Maybe you feel lost, distressed, stuck and un-fulfilled?

Or perhaps you have a sense that things just don't feel as they should, that your life is not going as you would like it to.

Relationships seem unfulfilling, work or family or other parts of your life are not giving you the pleasure you hoped for.

Do you have childhood issues that keep impacting on your life? Maybe you lost a loved one at a young age, you were neglected, or were abused, and still feel the trauma of this echoing down the years.

You may have been diagnosed with a mental health concern, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD or complex PTSD. Or maybe you have a compulsive behaviour, such as an addiction or struggle to manage self-defeating, repetitive patterns.

Psychotherapy can help with these and other such dilemmas.

I have 18 years experience as a therapist and mental health practitioner. Working in the NHS and charities. recently in Private Practice. I have extensive experience and have worked with people from all walks of life.

I offer open-ended therapy either weekly or twice weekly. I use mainly a psychodynamic approach, although I often integrate other modalities, tailoring my approach to your needs.

I feel the basis of any good therapy is the development of a good rapport and I offer a safe and containing environment to nurture your growth

I offer a free initial telephone consultation  lasting around 20 minutes.  If we decide to proceed from here, we can arrange a face to face meeting (currently via Zoom online platform).

I offer psychodynamic and integrative supervision. I have experience in supervision of counsellors, therapists, mental health practitioners and group supervision.

I currently offer case discussion groups to the probation service and consult to counsellors on complex cases.
