About me
I have been in private practice since 1986, working with individuals, couples, groups and staff teams. I have worked in many settings, including the NHS and Social Services, and with members of the medical profession, the business community and the creative industries. I teach and supervise counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists and I am a BAPPS and UKCP registered supervisor. I am experienced in working with a diverse range of ages and cultural and religious backgrounds. I have a special interest in all aspects of creativity and in the expression and development of the creative arts. I work face to face and online.
My services conform to the UKCP and their codes of ethics and practice.
I offer:
- Short and long term psychotherapy and counselling.
- Group therapy which is aimed at helping people to develop their capacity for more rewarding personal and work relationships.
- Individual and group consultations for teams, reflective practice, management development, team building and training.

We discuss your therapy needs and whether I or perhaps another therapist would be most suitable. If so, I would be able to refer you; I am connected to a large network of colleagues.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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).
