About me
Embarking on personal therapy can seem daunting, But generally my clients settle comfortably into our pleasant relaxed setting and find it surprisingly easy to share their thoughts.
During my 34 year career I have developed experience in many therapeutic approaches. Using this experience, we can work together to help you understand and overcome the social and emotional difficulties in your life.
Through relaxed conversation, you will be able share the emotional difficulties you would like to address. Then together we will build a plan to try to reach these goals.
Things may seem difficult for you at the moment. But I will support you in facing and understanding the practical, psychological and emotional obstacles you are living with. Through this process, we can work towards overcoming your challenges, resolving your difficulties, and finding the way forward towards a happier life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have completed 9 years full time study including a Degree, a Doctorate and a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Psychology. I am registered with the HCPC & NCPS as a counsellor, psychotherapist & psychologist.
Following this training, I have worked for over 34 years in the NHS and Private Practice as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist. During this time I have helped many people with a wide range of emotional and social difficulties.
I have extensive experience in working with OCD, depression, anxiety, trauma, social anxieties and low self esteem.
During our first session we can fully explore the issues you want help with. Then work towards overcoming these problems. Most of my clients settle quickly into therapy, and begin to see improvements within the first few weeks.

These include psychotherapy, CBT, narrative therapy, trauma therapy, holistic body/mind interventions, EMDR and mindfulness. I also provide therapy using the Internal Family Systems approach, which is particularly useful in helping adults deal with the impact of difficulties they experienced during childhood.
