Please see below a short description of what therapy models I offer.

Transactional Analysis (TA) is a widely recognised form of modern psychology that involves a set of practical conceptual tools designed to promote personal growth and change.

Schema Therapy (or more properly, Schema-Focused Cognitive Therapy) is an integrative approach to treatment that combines the best aspects of cognitive-behavioural, experiential, interpersonal and psychoanalytic therapies into one unified model, ideally suited for clients who suffer from personality disorders, chronic depression, emotional disregulation, and other difficult individual and couples problems.

Schema therapy has recently been blended with mindfulness meditation for clients who want to add a spiritual dimension to their lives.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an approach to psychotherapy that was originally created as a relapse-prevention treatment for depression. Mindfulness and mindfulness meditation, focus on becoming aware of all incoming thoughts and feelings and accepting them, but not attaching or reacting to them.

My private practice is based in Hersham, Walton-on-Thames In Surrey. My consulting office is in my garden with its own private entrance.

There is parking available both in front of the venue and on the nearby side roads. 

I offer BSL (British Sign Language).
