Identifying a therapist who might be 'right' for you, and making the first contact is often a big challenge. I have great respect for those who are able to do it because it shows resourcefulness. That pretty much sums up my approach to working with people - recognising and valuing what each person brings, respect and a mutuality about working together, and finding the quality of relationship and the tools that help. We do it together.
Hello. My interest is in your life and background rather than mine, but sometimes it helps to know what a potential therapist for you brings with them. I've worked in health and social care, universities (at multiple jobs and levels), and more recently with adult, children and young people as a psychotherapist in the voluntary sector, schools and privately. My training is grounded in believing that you are ok like you are, and you are like you are for good reason, even if you want to change aspects of that. Also that it's often easier to change with someone alongside. It is a privilege to be that person 'alongside'.
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.
