About me
I am a Jungian Psychotherapist working from my consulting room in lower Sunbury TW16. I have been working as a psychotherapist for 28 years and have a Diploma in Person Centred Counselling from Roehampton University. A Diploma in Core Process Psychotherapy. (Five year training) from the Karuna Institute in Devon. I also completed a seven year training in Jungian Psychology with the Guild of Analytical Psychology and Spirituality. I am a member of United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and an accredited supervisor. I am also a group facilitator and worked for five years at the Mulberry Centre (within the grounds of West Middlesex Hospital) with groups of individuals diagnosed with Cancer and those bereaved through Cancer. I was also director of Hounslow Bereavement Services for a number of years before it closed due to loss of funding. My interest in end of life counselling and my work as lead counsellor at the Mulberrry Centre took me onto the wards of MIddlesex Hospital where I was privileged to sit bedside with the terminally ill and hear their life stories.
My professional approach is informed by the understanding that the human psyche is a self-regulating mind/body system which has its own inherent movement toward health. When you and I enter into this process the opportunity for creating positive change and development can occur.
Valuing your symbolic life helps me understand your unconscious communications. Through your dreams, fantasies and creative expression we can explore together the realms of your internal world. Psychotherapy is a relational process, allowing us to work together to create a trusting relationship where we can begin to explore any difficulties you are encountering in your life.
My work is strongly influenced by Jung him self, who was an explorer of the realm of unconscious language, creatively communicated through the symbolic imagery of dreams and fantasy.
I offer one to one 60 minute sessions, preferably face to face in the room where possible. I am available for both long or short term work.
An initial session is suggested in order to discuss your individual needs.
Sessions are for 60 minutes.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me by phone or email.
You are most likely to reach my answering machine, so do please leave a message and I will get back to you.
