My Approach

During your sessions, you can speak openly and confidentially about any concerns or worries. I offer a collaborative and non-judgmental relationship, providing a space to explore the origins of your issues. Sessions last 50 minutes and are typically scheduled for the same time and day each week to foster a feeling of safety and consistency, though more frequent sessions are available if needed. People who come to see me have experienced a range of issues in life, including relationship difficulties, loss, anxiety and depression, low self confidence and self esteem, difficulty communicating feelings and emotions, suicidal feelings, abuse, self harm and eating disorders.

About Me

No one is exempt from troubles as long as they navigate the chaotic streams of life. (Carl Jung)
I believe that to explore difficult feelings and worries, it is important to have a safe and secure place to allow thoughts and feelings to arise in their own time and in a non-judgemental and confidential relationship. Sometimes your concerns can benefit from a short-term approach, but difficulties which are rooted in childhood or past experiences may take more time to make sense of.

People who come to see me have experienced a range of issues in life, which may be helped by exploring feelings and thoughts. These include relationship and family difficulties, loss, anxiety and depression, low self confidence and self esteem, difficulty communicating feelings and emotions, suicidal feelings, abuse, self harm and eating disorders.

With a background in residential social work, I first qualified in 1998, having the opportunity to undertake an intense and well-respected counselling training. After qualifying as a counsellor, I went on to take further trainings as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Supervisor. 

I am accredited with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), I am a qualified Supervisor of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (SAP) and have taught seminars to Counselling Trainees.

I have taken further training in working with adolescents, and see young people from the age of sixteen. I have also been trained in issues relating to the Adoption Process.

My consulting room is situated in Kings Langley. Parking is unrestricted and free.

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.

Loss is everywhere and challenges our equilibrium, whether the death of a loved one, job, home or lifestyle. It can be challenging to bear the suffering accompanying losses and undermine our very sense of who we are
I believe eating disorders are the symptom of something that isn't yet able to be thought about and put into words. I take a sensitive and non-judgmental approach to working towards understanding the roots of an embodied distress
I believe we relate to others in the same way that we relate to ourselves and that is modelled by the way we have been related to. Working collaboratively with the therapeutic relationship can shed light on our ways of being with others
I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic supervisor and see my role as mentor to enable a supervised to develop as a practitioner
I have been involved with training institutions for many years and was have of course been a trainee myself and have some understanding of the tensions and difficulties that arise as a trainee therapist
