I am a medical Doctor, a UKCP reg. Psychotherapist, a Certified Integrative Psychotherapist trainer & supervisor, a Certified Transactional Analyst - PTSTA, working with couples, individuals and groups.
I've got a special focus on psychosomatic illness, on how the emotions can affect your body. And how to treat the symptoms your body has created to compensate for the emotional pain.
I also have a special interest in the effects of childhood neglect/abuse in adulthood. I've been treating victims of childhood psychological neglect for over 15 years.
I use online consultations and face to face methods to successfully treat a variety of psychological problems.
