Struggling? I know it can be really difficult at times, so I‘m here to help.

I am a qualified and experienced Integrative psychotherapist. I have worked therapeutically in the public sector (NHS and education), in the private sector and within my own private practice for over 25 years. I've worked with adolescents in CAMHS, with individual adults within EAP services, with parents with small children with behavioural issues and corporately and across all walks of life. I work with individuals and in group settings and especially enjoy working with adolescents and couples.

For many of the clients I’ve worked with, I’ve seen issues arise from unresolved childhood concerns including attachment or connection challenges, leading to relationship difficulties either with themselves or with others in their adult life. This can impact client’s self-esteem or self-confidence and leave client’s feeling a sense of inequality or discrimination. Other more present issues such as bereavement or trauma have also been worked through in my practice.

How I practice
I have an interest in working with parents with young children with challenging behaviour (aged 3-7yrs) more commonly identified as ASD or ASD traits. Kicking, screaming, biting, self-harming, lining up toys, tantrums, communication difficulties etc. can all be addressed with help and support.

Having spent much time working with clients from diverse heritage groups, who wish to explore the question; “Who am I?”, I welcome the opportunity to work with such clients, and helping them discover themselves so they find peace with who they actually are. Clients have found therapy to be a great journey of discovery.

I have extensive experience of working with members of any senior leadership team (SLT), in helping them address issues that impact their work-life balance, with clear help, support and exploration. I also offer Reverse Mentoring for members of managers or any SLT. Please contact me for further details.

I have a special interest in working with people who have suffered trauma or distress as a result of difficult childhood experiences – particularly childhood emotional abuse and neglect.

All work now takes place from my online private practice or on the telephone, as I understand that meeting face to face, traveling, health boundaries and limitations can bring up their own set of challenges, especially during a time of financial difficulty for many.
