Profile

I am a group and individual psychotherapist specialising in stress-related issues, depression and anxiety, relationship problems.
As well as individual therapy and Group Analytic Therapy I also run personal development groups.

If you decide you would like to work in a group setting, I will always meet with you individually first to ascertain the issue you would like to explore and which approach would best suit your needs.

I work in private practice in Bournemouth and Southampton but I have experience in NHS outpatient psychotherapy settings.
