You may be feeling stuck or anxious in your life. Perhaps you are dealing with relationship issues, bereavement or loss, or difficulties in particular areas of your life which may seem insurmountable or confusing, or perhaps you just want to know more about yourself and what leads you to get into particular situations or relationships which may feel frustrating, unproductive or unsatisfying.
Therapy offers a confidential setting which can provide the possibility to explore these issues to gain more awareness and clarity about what might be getting in the way of you feeling more at ease with yourself. The work can open up new possibilities of understanding and different perspectives so as to gain more choices in how you live your life and different ways of being in the world.
I am an experienced psychotherapist (registered with UKCP since 1998) working with adults in private practice. My approach is underpinned by a view that our sense of ourselves is impacted on by our early formative relationships and experiences, and how this can have a subsequent effect on the way we feel about ourselves, live our lives, and enter into relationships and situations in the present. It also incorporates an acknowledgement of the significance of the wider social context and how this may contribute to and influence how we may think and feel about ourselves in the world.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked as a psychotherapist since qualifying with an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling (Integrative) in 1998.
I completed a post-qualifying course in Attachment Theory in Clinical Practice in 2005
I taught on an MA in Counselling in a University, training and supervising trainee counsellors from 2007 - 2015.
I attend training, seminar and conference events to continue my own development and reflective practice.
Before becoming a psychotherapist I worked for over 20 years in training and development in a range of settings including youth and community work, housing and social services, adult and higher education, developing staff and managers at all levels of the organisations.
