Profile
I am a chartered psychologist offering face-to-face counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples. I have experience of working both in the NHS and voluntary counselling agencies. I currently have private practices in Wokingham and Reading, and I also see patients at the Cardinal Clinic in Windsor.
Psychological therapy can help you deal with any difficulties, life issues or symptoms of psychological disorder. It may be that you have recently gone through a life changing event such as a divorce or career change and need help in coming to terms with it. You may be having problems in your relationship, or are feeling stressed, depressed or anxious. You can talk about anything that is worrying you in a non-judgmental and confidential setting.
However, counselling and psychotherapy is not only for resolving problems. It is valuable for anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and their relationships and improve their general sense of emotional well-being.
My training and experience covers a range of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy and Person-Centred Therapy. In our initial session I will help you decide which approach is most suitable for you, perhaps integrating aspects from different approaches to create a unique blend suited to you and your specific needs.
I can offer short-term, problem-focussed (6-18 sessions) or longer term therapy as appropriate.
