My Approach

No matter what people are struggling with, it is my experience that people come to therapy wanting to feel better.

With this in mind, my approach is for us to talk about you and the issues which have brought you to therapy - at your own pace and in a way that helps you. This includes talking about your experiences of yourself, of your circumstances, of your relationships and of the world. In couple and family therapy we focus particularly on your relationships.

By reflecting together on the things you talk about in your sessions, your hopes for the future and making connections with your present we can work to support you with whatever difficulties you are facing.

Because our work would be confidential, this includes being able to speak in a way that is unique to therapy. I have found that when people can say the things they need to say, without fear, new possibilities are created.

About Me

Over 25 years working as a psychotherapist, supervisor, consultant and trainer in a variety of private, charity and agency settings.

I have extensive experience with complex trauma, anxiety and depression, parenting, bereavement, fertility issues, addiction, couples, family dynamics. I work with individuals and couples, and also family members who need help with difficult relationships as well as parents struggling with the sometimes overwhelming task of parenting.

I work with

  • Couples
  • Families
  • Groups
  • Individuals

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.

I consider supporting parents in their task of parenting their children to be of immeasurable importance. At times, being a parent is overwhelming. Many parents struggle because they do not have the sensible help they need to make sense of the psychological and emotional processes affecting their children and family. Even with understanding, how to manage, effectively, these difficulties in a practical way is a challenge. I aim to help parents and families feel less overwhelmed and more competent, restoring empathy, trust and safety for each other and themselves.
Complex trauma can be a powerful and confusing disabler of mind and body. In addition to the psychological and emotional distress this causes, it can have serious consequences for your physical health. Life is difficult when traumatised. I have worked extensively with people suffering from the effects of trauma, helping them recognise and understand what is happening so they can find a way through to feeling calmer and more in control. This, in turn, leads to an easier and more enjoyable life.
