About Me

I am a qualified and registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor and Couples Therapist with more than 25 years' experience of working with adult clients in private practice and NHS settings. I completed my professional training at The Minster Centre in London in 1999. The Minster Centre's training is a postgraduate programme (typically 5-6 years) recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Since qualifying, I have undertaken further professional training in Supervision (at CPPD in London) and Couples Therapy (at The Centre for Relational Couples Therapy in Gloucestershire).

My Approach

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, which means that I aim to bring different therapeutic models, methods and philosophies together in a principled way. My approach integrates elements of contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy with a Humanistic emphasis on a direct and real relationship. I also incorporate into my practice some principles of Brief Dynamic Psychotherapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy. I offer consultations in the 'classical' setting of the therapist's office, as well as outdoor walk-and-talk therapy and, if there are impediments to meeting in person, online.
