About me
I am a qualified humanistic psychotherapist and combine different types of therapy to understand your issues and work flexibly according to your needs, offering short and open-ended work.
I work in rooms in central Witney and Oxford and am a member of Oxford Therapy Centre. I am an accredited member of United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapists ensuring regular Continued Professional Development and ethical practice with regular supervision.
Committing to counselling can be a big decision so I offer an initial online meeting or phone call (approx. 20 minutes long) which is free of charge. This will allow the opportunity to get to know each other and discuss how therapy may be helpful for you and your current needs.

Further information
My approach draws on humanistic philosophy that emphasises personal growth, authenticity and our ability to solve problems and achieve well-being, no matter how stuck or helpless we may be feeling.
As we build a deeply empathic and trusting relationship, I invite you gently and with compassion to be open to exploring the disturbance within you and, with curiosity, uncover any fixed patterns and beliefs about yourself and the world as well as any fears and anxieties that are blocking you.
