About me
Jungian psychoanalyst (AJA), experienced integrative psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and author.
I am based in Brighton, but offer sessions via Zoom for people outside the area.
I offer psychotherapy/analysis to work on deeper, more entrenched issues. Jungian psychoanalysis is an explorative process which might require more than one session a week, in which case a concession may be available if required.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been in private practice for over thirty years, and I also have over twelve years experience of working in hospitals (private and NHS), therapeutic communities, and homeless hostels.
I have been a member of the Association of Jungian Analysts (AJA) since 2012. I am now a senior analyst with them and I provide anaIysis and supervision for our training candidates. I was originally trained in integrative psychotherapy with the Minster Centre from 1990-96.
I am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and the British Psychoanalytic Council (BCP).
I am a member of the International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP).
I hold a diploma in clinical supervision, and an MA in integrative psychotherapy from Middlesex University. I also hold an MA in Jungian and post Jungian studies from the University of Essex.
I am experienced in working with a broad spectrum of conditions and problems which are listed below. I work particularly with eating disorders; abuse whether that has its origin in childhood or an adult experience; childhood neglect; relationship issues including affairs and betrayal; family problems; and personal development at depth.
