I have a particular interest in working with clients who have been traumatised.  Another area of interest is the impact of boarding school on clients sense of self, relational style and ways of coping when they are distressed. I have also been trained to work with faith if this is something that clients request.

Individuals - £75

Couples - £85

I encourage potential clients to give me a call for a brief conversation to see how best I may help. There is no charge for this.

Whilst  most of my work is medium to long-term and I am also experienced in working short-term.

My Practice is at The Eaves in Godalming next to the Mill Medical Practice and in the same building as Kamsons Pharmacy. We are on the first floor, accessed by stairs.

Sometimes clients are clear about what they would like my professional support with. Sometimes this can be difficult to discern but they have a sense of overwhelm, not being able to cope as well as they are used to and not being sure what to do next.

It is my job to help you make sense of your story and reflect on the impact of this on you.  Your lived experience is unique and matters. I will help you find the pace which is right for you as well as where you would like to focus our work together.

It is helpful also to look at your coping strategies when you are distressed. Sometimes we may shut down or find that our tolerance is diminished.  Maybe friends and/or family have expressed their concern for us.

Talking isn't always easy - hopefully the therapeutic relationship and the interventions I offer will gradually help you find ways to express yourself, find comfort and the ability to cope when things are really difficult.

Do contact me if you would find this helpful on 07727 863274.

At the first appointment I will take formal details of your background history and details of the difficulties that you would like some professional support with.  There is no obligation to continue after this appointment.

You will have an opportunity to ask me any questions that will help you decide if I am the right professional to work with.

If we are both in agreement I will then book you a regular weekly slot for your appointments.
