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.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been working with clients in private practice for over 14 years and am registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy - registration number 07158940.
Member organisations

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 waarschijnlijk (deels) Engels terug moeten spreken, maar misschien is het voor jou prettiger om je in je eigen moedertaal uit te drukken.
