Profile

I offer short term and long term counselling and psychotherapy in a consulting room close to central Oxford (St Clements).

You may be seeking help because you are going through a period of crisis or pain, or because you have felt stuck, anxious or depressed for some time. There may be past or present issues or relationship that you feel the need to explore. My core approach is psychodynamic, which means that we will work together to get to the root of current or ongoing difficulties and try to make sense of them.

My aim is to offer the right balance of support and challenge to help you move forward, understand yourself better, and discover more satisfying ways of thinking, feeling, relating and living.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I have an MA in Modern Languages and and an MSt in Psychodynamic Practice from Oxford University. The latter includes both a Certificate in Psychodynamic Studies
and a Diploma in Psychodynamic Practice.

I am accredited by and registered with the UKCP, and abide by their codes of ethics and practice.

I have several years experience of offerering counselling and psychotherapy for a range of issues in different NHS settings, including Psychological Services, and in a large workplace organisation. I also have wide experience of working with people from diverse cultures and religious backgrounds, as well as some familiarity with mental health issues.
