My Approach

My model of psychotherapy is Integrative with a Psychodynamic core.

I have experience of providing counselling and psychotherapy to adults (aged 18 and over) around the following issues:

Abuse (sexual, physical, emotional, neglect)
Addictive behaviours
Anger
Anxiety and panic
Attachment difficulties
Childhood difficulties
Confidence and self-esteem
Couples Psychotherapy
Depression
Domestic abuse
Eating disorders
Envy
Gender
Grief and loss
HIV
Identity
Jealousy
LGBT affirmative
Male on male rape
Personality difficulties
Relational-Developmental Trauma
Relationship difficulties
Self-harm
Sexual Abuse (Childhood and adult)
Sexual difficulties
Sexuality
Survivors of harassment and stalking
Stress
Trauma.


As a therapist, I have a specialist interest in the area of Stalking and Envy and working with the psychological impact it has on its victims, as well as trauma work with survivors of abuse, HIV, Relational-Developmental Trauma, male sexuality, sexual difficulties and sex addiction, and Couples Psychotherapy.

It is important that the therapy that you engage with feels right for you and meets your needs. If at any point during therapy you feel that this is not the case, we can discuss this openly and explore other options that might feel more suitable. The most important thing is that you feel supported, comfortable, able and wiling to engage in a therapeutic relationship that best meets your needs.
