About me
Hello, it can be daunting trying to find someone to work with when life becomes tricky, and this list of faces and qualifications might not be the easiest way to choose.
I offer a respectful, compassionate and confidential space to support people with both short-term challenges and longer-term personal change. I am trained to help you understand anxieties and problems in your life in a way that makes sense to you. You may be experiencing difficulties related to events happening in your life at the moment, or deep-seated problems that have been with you for a long time.
I believe that exploring difficulties and gaining a better understanding of ourselves can help us in changing problematic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, and help us to live more peaceful and fulfilling lives. Exploring our experiences and responses can allow us to regain a sense of freedom and spontaneity and help us to manage relationships and live the life we want.
I offer a range of options if you'd like to work face-to-face in my comfortable offices, online or on the telephone.
I am a registered counsellor/psychotherapist who uses Integrative Psychotherapy, Transactional Analysis and Imago techniques to help you understand yourself and your relationships with others.
I work with individuals and also with couples.

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.
