About me
Group, individual and couples psychotherapist. Supervisor for other psychotherapists. Writer and international trainer.
Some people ask how long therapy takes. This is an individual matter. The client and I work together to define goals and set targets.
MY APPROACH
I specialise in psychodrama. Individual sessions use talking therapy with action methods e.g. the empty chair technique. Here an individual can address someone or something in their lives, within the safety of therapy. They are able to ventilate thoughts and feelings. Role reversal allows the client to see themselves as others see them and to gain another point of view.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
