I am also a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I trained at Goldsmiths College, University of London, and at Regent's College in London. I am also a qualified supervisor. Before training as a therapist I worked in several different jobs, which added to my experience of life! I have had experience of working in hospitals and schools, and spent some time working in television, and then freelance as a writer and actor. I have travelled widely and my interests include music, dancing and yoga. THE WAY I WORK I work with all issues, including emotional, physical and sexual abuse, relationship difficulties, depression and anxiety. I have had training in working transculturally. Another area I work in is stress management and I often use creative therapies such as art and music, dreams, visualisation and hypnotherapy. I have facilitated workshops in stress management, dreams and creative writing. My thinking as a counsellor and psychotherapist is particularly influenced by the work of Carl Jung, D. W. Winnicott and Irvin Yalom. However I am always interested in new theories and enjoy reading professional journals and attending courses to extend my knowledge. I use a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive, humanistic and integrative theories, and adapt them according to the needs of each individual I work with.

I do charge for this appointment, which gives you the opportunity to talk in confidence and to decide whether you feel you would like to work with me.
