My Approach

I offer an opportunity to explore, in relationship, recurring events or patterns of behaviour or parts of your life where there is anxiety, hopelessness or a sense of being stuck. Sometimes a conversation in therapy can lead to new meanings or shed light on what's going on for us. And sometimes sharing our grief or sense of helplessness, and having that seen and heard, can help us feel less alone with it. This in turn can bring us closer to a place of acceptance or understanding.

The stories we tell about ourselves can become fixed and not allow for change or growth. I believe that it is in the sharing of these familiar stories that we can gain a new perspective, which in turn can lead to real change and a way through dark and difficult times.

About Me

After many years working for a multinational corporation, I completed a UKCP accredited Masters and diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy. I have been working in private practice since 2014, and prior to that in an agency as a counsellor for people recovering from problems with drug and alcohol use, as well as a number of years in the management of a local organisation providing support to those who are distressed and suicidal. My experiences in the charitable sector and in the commercial world have given me a certain perspective on the pressures and the distractions of work.
