Due to the depth of my training I welcome all presenting issues and cater to your specific needs. I offer a simple 'no frills' approach with no candles or hot stones, however occasionally there may be the opportunity for some creative exploration but this is ‘offered’ not required for therapy.

I work from a collaborative Humanistic approach which incorporates Person centered theory with existential philosophy, essentially this means I work with the notion that each person is unique and they are there own expert, I make no pre- conceptions of your presenting issues and we work collaboratively to support you through them. Once you're through the door you've done the hardest part!

Numerous professional development workshops.

• Workshop training in 'working with dreams'
• play therapy
• working creatively in therapy
• working with past trauma.
• Workshop training in childhood abuse.
