About me
I am an experienced qualified and registered Psychotherapist, working for over 18 years in private practice offering psychotherapy for individuals and couples.
I offer a free initial consultation which allows me to understand what you may want from therapy, for you to learn more about me and how I work and for us to then decide if I might be the right therapist to work with you.
Life brings challenges to us all at times and often the support of our friends and family is not enough to help us move through these life events. You may be feeling anxious, suffering panic attacks, depression or it could be that issues from your childhood or relationship difficulties impact on your day to day life. At these times working with a professional counsellor can enable us to explore and make meaning of our experiences, noticing patterns of behaviour, thoughts and feelings that are limiting our lives or causing distress. With this understanding real change can be made enabling you to live a full and vibrant life.
It is well evidenced that the therapeutic relationship, between client and therapist is at the heart of successful therapeutic change. I work in a manner that is respectful, confidential, supportive and gently challenging. My training and experience allows me to work in an integrative manner, using a range of theoretical frameworks in a thoughtful and considered approach for each individual client.
I offer Psychotherapy for individuals and couples.
My career spans over 30 years working in the NHS, local authority and the voluntary sector working with vulnerable adults, children, young people and families who face challenges in their lives, both as a senior manager and practitioner.
I am a Registered member of UKCP, UKATA and the ITAA and abide by their ethical guidelines and complaints process.
