About me

I'm a qualified and experienced Integrative & Short-term dynamic psychotherapist and supervisor based in Frimley Green & online. I work with a range of conditions, my specialist areas are anxiety, depression, attachment, trauma, addictions, anger, bereavement, personality disorders, chronic pain & CFS/ME.

I'm offering to face to face appointments in Frimley Green. I am also continuing to provide online appointments.

I'm currently undergoing advanced training in Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), an accelerated form of dynamic psychotherapy. This active approach focuses on processing emotional blockages and changing maladaptive response patterns which are responsible for symptoms such as anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.
As an emotion-focused, experiential therapy ISTDP aims to get to the root of your difficulties in as short a time-frame as possible to enable you to overcome symptoms and reach your full potential. If you would like to find out more about this type of therapy please contact me or visit my website.

My Approach

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. Fully insured and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I trained as an integrative counsellor incorporating different counselling theories into a therapeutic relational framework. I believe we are all individuals needing individual approaches. The counselling theories incorporated in my training are transpersonal, psychodynamic, humanistic and existential. Integrative counselling provides a flexible, effective and helpful way of counselling with the healing coming from our therapeutic relationship.

I have 10 years’ experience supporting people experiencing various difficulties including drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness, mental health problems, domestic abuse, long-term illness, disabilities and workplace issues.

What to expect in your first session

Our first session together will provide you with the opportunity to explore the difficulties that you are having, your treatment goals and how I can help you.

Length of treatment

The length of the treatment is up to you and this will depend on your treatment goals. I suggest that new patients have an initial 4 sessions to get a feel for the therapy and we work together on a treatment plan.

If you feel I may be able to help you, please feel free to contact me and arrange an initial appointment.
