Profile

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with a private psychotherapy and counselling practice.

I also work as a psychotherapist within the NHS where I see people with severe personality disorders. I have a background of working with people who are homeless or marginalised (dating back to 1989). Over the years, I have gained a wide range of therapeutic skills and resources for working with people.

People come into therapy for many reasons and under widely differing circumstances. Typically, I see people who are experiencing relationship difficulties, anger issues, stress, anxiety or who feel they are not coping as well as they used to. The counselling provides a place of safety for talking about experience, for gaining new resources and for taking new steps.

I have found that the meaning given to emotional experience changes when talked about and explored in safe, trusting relationships. In a sense, we all benefit from talking about our experiences because talking allows very fixed meanings to get freed up.

I am very committed to working with integrity, within an ethical framework, and will be pleased to offer you an initial assessment meeting if you would like to contact me.
I am open to seeing people for short- or long- term work. 

I see first-hand that therapy does assist people to lead more satisfying and resourceful lives.
