About me
Psychotherapy involves a confidential, professional relationship, to think together about your life. You may have felt depressed, anxious or angry for some time, or you may be thinking about a short-term problem. Some people have difficulties they can't easily talk to friends or family about. Some people want to get a better understanding of experiences they have had, to help them move ahead.
As well as thinking and talking about your experiences, psychotherapy can involve attention to body sensations and feelings it is not easy to find words for. You may remember bits of dreams, or you may describe situations using visual images that occur to you. Whatever comes up can turn out to be meaningful, even when it doesn’t seem to make any obvious sense at first.
My location is near the B1049 (Histon Road) in the northwestern part of Cambridge. It is easy to reach by car from Junction 32 of the A14, or it takes about 30 minutes to walk (or 12 to cycle) from the centre of Cambridge.
I have one space for low-cost three times weekly psychotherapy. This is offered through the British Psychotherapy Foundation's Low Fee Scheme offering Jungian Analysis for adults who are able to make a commitment of a minimum of three times weekly sessions, over two years.
This is a service that takes into account your particular financial circumstances and the fee ranges from £10 to £25 per session.
Further information on this scheme can be found at https://www.britishpsychotherapyfoundation.org.uk/therapy/low-fee-intensive-therapy. To enquire about this, rather than contacting me directly, please email clinical services at the BPF through the above web page.

school Registered / Accredited

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.
Accredited register membership

Ben jij Nederlandstalig?
Mijn moedertaal is Engels maar ik heb in Nederland gewoond en ik versta goed Nederlands. Je kunt daarom gewoon Nederlands met me praten als je dat wilt. Ik zal weliswaar Engels terug moeten spreken, maar misschien is het voor jou prettiger om je in je eigen moedertaal uit te drukken.
