About me and my therapy practice
Clinical Director :The Rock Clinic Association, Brighton.Director: University of Sussex Counselling Service. (retired)
I work broadly speaking within the psychodynamic framework but am also able to offer CBT and systemic therapy (for couples or families). I have been in practice for over 30 years so bring widespread experience or presenting issues, conflicts or relational challenges. These might include work-based difficulties, cultural dynamics to do with ethnicity, class or gender or more personal aspects to do with relationships, identity and self esteem.
Practice description
As a very experienced therapist, I am familiar with many of the stresses and distresses of 21st century living. I aim to offer a secure and confidential space where these concerns can be outlined within an interactive and responsive relationship. Using the insights of psychodynamic thinking, I would hope to help those who see me develop insight and understanding as well as formulating new ways going forward.
My first session
The first session may feel more of a fact finding experience as it is helpful for me to understand what the problems might be and some of the background to these.
It can also be a helpful way of finding our whether we can work together as well as discussing the practical aspects of arranging therapy.
