Further information

As a psychodynamic counsellor I look at the impact of past experiences on current functioning and relationships.  I combine this mode of working with more directive therapies, such as CBT and solution focussed thinking to tailor counselling to the individual and their specific needs. It has been very rewarding over the years for me to see the change and recovery people can experience when, with support and encouragement, they have gained self-awareness and taken responsibility for their own lives.

I am accredited by the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and abide by their Code of Ethics.
