About me
Many of us can struggle with how we feel sometimes. I hope that what I offer is a place where you can talk about what is going on for you and how you are feeling.
Psychotherapy
I see psychotherapy as a way of offering you a space to say everything, to be listened to at depth; it is about being able to say out all those thoughts and feelings that run through our minds. It is to help you find hope, a way of getting to be back in charge, of being able to cope, of moving towards happiness and relationship.
How I see things
I believe that everything in our life links up; we are all one. The most irrelevant thought in our head can actually be really important for who we are or how we are. What happens now can be an echo of things that happened to us before; there can be patterns. Our bodies and our dreams, too, can hold part of our experience; it can be really important to listen to them.
First steps
I wouldn't be surprised if getting in touch with a therapist or a counsellor was really quite hard; surely that is only natural. But the good thing is that you are in charge. You will want to listen to any therapist from the very first phone call to see if you feel comfortable with them, to get a sense as to whether you want to try a first session. It has to be your space and what feels right for you.
So with me, as with most therapists, the first phone call is free. That gives you time to ask questions and then to think about what you would like to do. I am based in Littlehampton and I see people once a week, and sometimes more frequently than that if they want.

If you go to my website I have written a number of blogs, which are thoughts about how I work.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained for 6 years with the Society of Analytical Psychology and have worked in the NHS (Psychological Therapies, Assessment and Treatment Service), in various counselling services and supervised groups of counsellors in two counselling charities.
I am registered with the British Psychoanalytical Council and am a member of the Society of Analytical Psychology and the International Association for Analytical Psychology.

Accredited register membership
