About me
I am a UKCP registered individual and group psychotherapist with over 30 years experience in mental health. I have worked privately and in the NHS with adolescents and families, with adults with a wide range of mental health problems and with adolescents and adults as a private practitioner for the past seven years. I am an international trainer in group therapy and change management, having run courses and presented at International Conferences in Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Switzerland, Italy and Hungary in the past ten years. I have acted as a consultant to NHS hospital in-patient units and private companies in managing their change processes.
My individual work focuses on facilitating the client’s capacity to find their own healing methods, through exploration of current and past difficulties using a variety of psychodynamic techniques tailored to the individual client’s needs. I have long experience of working with depression and anxiety, anger management, eating disorders, self-harm and low self-esteem. I have a specific interest in working with the effects of trauma.
I facilitate a fortnightly online supervision group for therapists in Ukraine that has been running for over 2 years.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist and BPA registered Psychodrama Psychotherapist.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited

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.
