About me
I am an experienced Psychotherapist, and Jungian Psychoanalyst and Supervisor. I have worked in the NHS, and for Gloucestershire Occupational Health and am currently in private practice in the Cotswolds. I provide a calm and secure place for personal reflection- a space to work through difficulties and problems, discretely and in a rural setting. I am fully registered with the UKCP and adhere to their code of ethics.
My original training as an Integrative psychotherapist – as well as my work as a Jungian Analyst – means that I draw on a number of ideas ranging from the oldest forms of psychotherapy to more contemporary methods of treatment. It’s part of being human to feel uncertain and conflicted, but we live in a world that wants certainty and simple solutions. Jungian Analysis makes space for these uncertainties without reaching for easy answers. Done thoughtfully, it can transform our understanding of ourselves and change our lives. I don’t think this process ‘cures’ people or changes what has happened in the past, nor do I have ready-made answers, but I do believe that it can enable people to move on and get back to leading vibrant and fulfilling lives.
I pay special attention to the way relationships from the past impact on our lives, as well as finding practical ways of coping with stressful and challenging situations.
As well as my private practice I am an external tutor on the MA programme at Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling.
