About me
What does therapy offer?
When we are going through difficult things we can feel worried and isolated. Therapy gives us a confidential place to talk about what is on our miind, a place to think, and to lay our burden down.
Do I have specialities?
If I am honest, I work with people who are uncomfortable, worried, anxious or afraid. People use the word trauma, and they often mean something terrible that has happened. But it can also be your whole life or part of your life, the air you have breathed for a long time. Some people don't know where to start and that is natural too. My role is to listen and to try to be alongside.
Relationships too
Our relationships are often the most important thing in the world to us. Of course we work on them, but sometimes they start going wrong and we don't know what to do. It can help to talk things through; and sometimes other things come up as we do.
How I work
I wait, I listen. Sometimes I am listening for feelings. Feelings can be near the surface or they can be deep down. You may have different, mixed feelings. It can be a relief to say what we feel, as far as we want to go.
I also believe that our bodies are important, and our dreams, and those times when we have no words, and we lose our thoughts. I see therapy as a process working with someone towards waht they want.
Your possible next step
You could send an email or phone to start things off. I am based in Littlehampton and see people face to face as well as working online and by phone.
Working with young people
I also work face to face with teenagers 16 and over; and I work in a school as a psychotherapist.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a psychotherapist registered with the British Psychoanalytical Council and am a member of the Society of Analytical Psychology and the International Association for Analytical Psychology.
I see adults and secondary school age 16+ teenagers I have worked in the NHS and supervised groups of counsellors in local services.
