My Approach

My main approach is Cognitive Analytic Therapy and this is a time limited therapy (usually of approximately 6 months duration) which aims to make sense of old familiar patterns that feels a bit stuck by looking back to the past to work them out how change might look. I work a lot with relationship issues, past and present and a lot involving experience of trauma.

About Me

My professional journey to being a therapist began in in the NHS over 30 years ago when I started out in the NHS in mental health. I have always worked in the NHS and this has provided a wonderfully rich experience of working with dedicated skills colleagues, and with wonderfully resilient people who show courage in facing the kind of exploration that therapy entails. I do believe that therapists learn as much from those they help. I have also practiced independently for almost 20 years and so have gathered a lot of experience and bring all my experience to bear when I meet you.
