About me

I provide a specialist service for people working in media and the creative arts. Across over 30 years of practice my clients have included

actors, architects, artists, comedians, composers, dancers, entertainers, designers, directors, film makers, journalists, musicians, new media artists, photographers, poets, producers, publishers, sculptors, singers, writers and many others.


Please read the Training, Qualifications and Experience section below. You will quickly see that I am not new to the world of counselling and psychotherapy.

The depth, range and level of my training, my experience and my expertise will - I hope - allow you to feel confident in making a self-referral to my practice.

If you are trying counselling for the first time you may have some anxiety about taking the first steps towards getting help. While I am a very experienced practitioner, I think you will find me approachable and warm, even though I take my work very seriously indeed.

I have the highest regard for people who put their energy into creative projects and pursuits. I have a sound understanding of the kind of problems and issues that can stop creativity in its tracks or that can hold people back from working optimally with energy, determination and self-belief

Feel free to call me to talk about your current needs, or send me an email if you prefer.
