Profile

I have been in private practice as a counsellor and later as a psychotherapist for 20 years. My experience enabes me to offer a flexible approach from short term counselling to in depth psychotherapy, to enable people to explore a variety of issues and concerns, My core training is psychodynamic, but I am open to approaching therapy in the way that feels right to the person or couple that I am working with.

Over the last few years I have become interested in Mindfulness Based Cognitive therapy and where appropriate use simple awareness exercises in the therapy. I currently facilitate an 8 week courses in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy.

I am also an experienced supervisor and offer supervision to counsellors and other people in the helping professions.
