Email meAbout me
I am a counsellor and psychotherapist trained in Transactional Analysis. I come from a hospital based background with a BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics. Like many good therapists my interest in psychotherapy grew through my own personal experience.
I have a deep interest in the connection between physical and emotional health and 30 years experience in the healthcare field.
I am a member of UKATA and abide by their code of ethics and professional practice.
I can help you when:
you want to explore emotional issues in a safe and non-judgemental space
you want to talk about personal confidential matters with someone who isn't directly involved but can offer support
you find it hard to pinpoint what the issue is and you need time and support to work it out
