About me
I am an experienced, registered and fully-qualified therapist working from a quiet garden room near Devizes. I work with adults (18 years and over), usually seeing clients weekly and in-person (though online or telephone sessions are available if needed).
I work with a wide range of difficulties but each person's situation is unique and as a psycho-dynamic therapist, I'm interested to hear about both the client’s current struggles and their past experiences. Although this type of therapy is not always a “quick fix,” it can help individuals to gain a new understanding of themselves and their situation, and to make changes that last.
I welcome enquires from anyone who thinks talking therapy might help and I would be pleased to hear from you if you would like to arrange an initial meeting or an introductory telephone call.
