I work with adults and adolescents over the age of 18, both short term and long term, as well as offering supervision.
I am a UKCP registered Adult Psychotherapist with over 25 years experience working with Adults. I previously worked with traumatized children under 18 for rover 10 years.
In 2004 I completed my Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Postgraduate Diploma training with the Westminster Pastoral Foundation in Kensington. I then graduated with an MA in Child & Adolescent Integrative Psychotherapy and for many years worked with children in different settings including mainstream schools, therapeutic centres, Youth Offending Service and children with a Social Care setting. I have completed the LINKS Adoption training, which provides me with the skills and knowledge needed to work with adopted adults and adolescents. I now focus my practice on Adults and Adolescents over 18.
I provide face-to-face therapy, and also can work using play and art material, which can be very freeing and therapeutic, especially so if the Adult has suffered early childhood trauma. I have a private practice at home.
My practice is in Wokingham town centre. Wokingham is well served by buses from most major towns and via train.
I believe in the importance of tailoring my approach to suit the client.
I foster the same approach in my role as a supervisor.
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.
