My Approach

I take an integrative approach based on what I have learned over 30 years in practice - no two people are alike and I like to learn from each client what is the best approach for you.

About Me

I welcome all kinds of people to my practice, and I have considerable experience of many different client issues. Please see my website to find out more about my approach, and also some articles with my thoughts and ideas about psychotherapy. I offer online sessions, and also face to face sessions in Plymouth. I offer a warm supportive relationship, and I work with each client as a unique individual. I work with individuals, couples and groups. It can feel a bit strange starting therapy, but I will help you feel at ease enough so we can get to work with what's most important for you, and make the changes you need to make.

I work with

  • Couples
  • Families
  • Groups
  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

life affects us very differently according to where we are in the life cycle, and understanding this can make transitions easier and more graceful; whatever your age and stage of life, specific issues come to the fore. As a mature psychotherapist in my 60s I have worked with al the different transitions in life, and at the time they can feel very intense, painful and challenging - but there is always new learning.
If you need support with your relationship, couple therapy can help you address the difficulties you are experiencing so that it feels safer and more manageable. If you are looking for a warm, responsive, and experienced senior psychotherapist, please text me 07825284160 or visit my website to see if my approach appeals to you. I am based in Plymouth and North Devon and also work online. I aso offer mediation.
Depression is a word that includes many dfferent issues; tihe way I see it is that there is always an opening, an opportunity, something new to learn and it is possible to change things around so you feel renewed and hopeful. Time and again I have seen how depression holds important keys and seeds to renewal but often you have to go thorugh the middle of it to emerge into the light. Doing this with an experienced psychotherapist makes it feel more manageable,
I have found, through many years of experience, that working onlinei s equally effective as working face to face. However there need to be some adjustments in how we communicate with one another on a screen, so that the subtlety and companionship of face to face engagement is not lost.
I have seen how an active engagement with one's own inherent spirituality can make all the difference in making your life feel purposeful, meaningful, connected and happy. Spirituality is a confusing subject, and is not given much space in our secular society, but the absence of it is keenly felt. In psychospiritual psychotherapy, your spirituality is not defined for you, but there is the opportunity for it to be seen and understood and for you to feel empowered to live from your own centre of being,
