My Approach

I emphasise choice in my work , I offer 1 free assessment hour to see if if the client and myself feel its appropriate to work with each other. I have been in practice for over 22 years and I am always humbled by the courage people who enter into working with a therapist have . I am equally convinced that talking therapies can be a life changer and a life saver for some people . However it has to be the right person, if we both feel there is a chance of rapport that it will be a "good fit" then the work with commitment by both therapist and client can work. . I try to keep my work and manner of speaking has uncomplicated as possible. .
