About me
My Background
I have been working as an integrative psychotherapist, couple therapist and psychosexual therapist for over 35 years. I offer specialist support with relationship and sexual issues to individuals and couples as well as supervision to practising counsellors and psychotherapists. My work has developed and matured over the years and, although I'm always aware of familiar relationship patterns and make use of these to help individuals and couples, I also find that each relationship/individual is unique. Supporting and valuing this uniqueness is what makes my work interesting and rewarding.
What I'm offering
I'm offering support to individuals and couples who are having difficulty in their relationships. You may be experiencing anxiety and unhappiness in the relationship, you may have sex problems, money problems or problems with bringing up your children and I'm certainly able to help with this. However, my aim is not just to get the relationship 'back on track' but also to deepen and develop it so it becomes the best it can be.
The relationships I work with are not just couple relationships. I also have experience of working with parents and their grown up children and relationships between siblings. In my individual work, I'm happy to explore any relationships in your life including, and especially, your relationship with yourself.
Availability and Location
I'm now working face to face in Frome at the Lifecare Health Clinic. Contact me to book. My Zoom practice will continue and is generally quite busy - I have some daytime spaces, but evening slots are less easy to come by. However, these things can change very rapidly so do contact me anyway.
My book Sexual Grounding Therapy: context, Theory and Practice was published by Routledge in May 2021 - see link below. The subject matter is one of the therapies I'm trained in and it will be interesting and useful to both professionals and people who are curious about the influence of their up-bringing on their sexual relationships.

Member organisations
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).
