About me
I am a fully qualified UKCP-registered psychotherapist with a background in bereavement, estrangement, depression, trauma, anxiety and relationship/communication issues. I work with individuals and couples, and run a support group for anxiety.
Often people need a place to talk and this can provide some relief. My approach is to listen and ask questions about what you are thinking and feeling in the endeavour that talking and reflecting without judgment will provide deeper insight. Sharing feelings and thoughts with an empathic listener does often help to come to terms with what has gone before; the relationship between client and therapist can be a powerful mechanism in this regard as self-compassion becomes internalised and coping with current or past events eventually feels more manageable.
If you would like to know more, please contact me.
My practice is based in Staines-Upon-Thames and I offer a confidential and comfortable space on the ground floor (sadly, I do not have access for wheelchair users).

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
