Email meAbout me
I have run a private psychotherapy practice since 1994 in Slough and Bristol, and also have considerable experience of working in Primary Care, having worked in GP surgeries since 1994. I am a Designated Member of the Counsellors' Collective South West LLP.
Psychotherapy is usually conducted under an open-ended contract, but short-term work is also possible. Using psychotherapy, you can explore all kinds of life issues in a safe and confidential space. In our initial meeting we can establish the basis of our work together. Sessions are normally arranged on a weekly basis, but other arrangements can be negotiated.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy & Counselling (BCPC) from 1989, qualifying with the Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy in 1997. As well as a private psychotherapy practice, I also have considerable experience of counselling in Primary Care, having worked in GP surgeries since 1994.
Since September 2012 I have been working part-time in the East Berkshire IAPT Talking Therapies service under the Berkshire Healthcare Foundation Trust.
I am a licenced Counselling for Depression (CfD) and Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) practitioner.
