About me
Hello. You may be seeking help for a variety of different reasons, which might range from a general sense of things ‘just not being right for you’, through to more pressing issues with anxiety, depression, loneliness, isolation, bereavement, stress, childhood through to recent trauma, persistent negative patterns, low self esteem, low confidence, relationships, mid-life crisis or a longing for greater well-being or deeper meaning in your life. I provide a safe place for you to explore these issues, and anything else that might arise. I have been in private practice offering counselling and psychotherapy for over 30 years.
A core element in counselling and psychotherapy is to know and understand oneself better. Through developing ourselves, we can enhance our ability to cope with life’s challenges more effectively. We are then able to improve our relationships, and let go of old patterns that no longer serve us. All of this can give our lives greater meaning and fulfillment.
Short-term counselling can be used to focus on a specific issue, difficult decision, particular goal or problem. Whilst long-term therapy, can support more profound insight and lasting change. Choosing the length and focus of our work will vary according to your needs and circumstances.
Whilst what I have written here will give you some idea about what I am offering, the best way to know if you would like to work with me, is for us to have an initial consultation.
Choosing to see a counsellor or psychotherapist can be a crucial step to sorting out whatever is troubling you. If you want to make an appointment with me, please call 07980 009356. If you would rather write to me, please click the email connection above, including your phone number(s) and I will get back to you as soon as I can. We can then schedule a session, where we can discuss what is happening for you, and see if we feel we could work well together.
Training, qualifications & experience
Chiron Certificate for Integrative Body Psychotherapy

I have been working as an Integrative Body Psychotherapist for over 10 years. Prior to this, I have 17 years experience as a Body Therapist, where I developed a way of working which drew on elements of counselling, coaching and specialist massage.
Alongside my one-to-one work, I created and facilitated a range of personal development workshops in England and Holland, which enabled participants to resolve issues and gain insight into themselves, whilst exploring fuller self expression with others.
