About me
What I offer is to be your "ally" through life's challenges and changes, of which there are many. I will give you empathy, respect and honest feedback within a supportive professional relationship and together we will work through whatever issues you bring. The times that we live in, plus the pressures of different life stages, can result in anxiety, depression and relationship difficulty. My aim is that every person becomes able, not only to cope, but to become their real self and lead a fulfilling life. By this I mean a life lived in healthy connection with others, one that has meaning and purpose, and which expresses our values.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked as a Psychotherapist for over 30 years and work with individuals, couples, groups and as a supervisor supporting trainees and practitioners. I have diplomas in Counselling and Psychotherapy with the London Institute of Psychosynthesis and have done extensive further training, especially in healing trauma, attachment patterns and working with adult relationship issues. I am fully accredited with UKCP.

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
