I am an experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor and supervisor offering brief and open-ended therapy in a well-established private practice with many referrals coming from employee assistance programmes.

Extra Information

As an additional ‘tactical’ tool, much of my work uses CBT techniques which are designed to assist the client bring to consciousness any automatic and conditioned defences linked to early or false assumptions.
