My Approach

Systemic Psychotherapy is suitable for a wide range of individual difficulties and relationship problems. It helps people understand themselves in the context of their close relationships, communities and social worlds.

Our cultural and social background can play an enormous part in how we feel about ourselves and how others see and position us. I work also with people who might be negotiating aspects of identity such as gender, sexual orientation or where aspects of identity have led to adverse experiences.

I provide a space to pause and reflect on the problems we face as individuals or within specific relationships. A space to develop awareness of the broader context of relationships and ideas which can influence how we make sense of ourselves and each other, the meanings we give to events and their influences on our choice of action or behaviour.

About Me

I am a registered Family & Systemic Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience working with individuals, families and kinship networks.

Like all UKCP registered therapists I am experienced in working with a variety of difficulties. I work with children and adults individually as well as with couples/partnerships, families or specific relationships.

I have a clinic space in Hitchin, Hertfordshire and St. Albans, Hertfordshire for face to face clients

I work with relationship challenges such as family conflict, parental stress, couple/partnership distress and change, becoming a parent or carer, friendship breakdowns and destructive relationship patterns.

Distressing events and experiences such as loss, bereavement, separation, infertility, trauma, living with pain or coping with a diagnosis.

Intense and overwhelming feelings such as anger, depression, sadness, anxiety, guilt and shame which may or may not lead to painful ways of coping such as self-harm, addictions or problematic relationships with food.
