My approach is relational and non judgemental. The opportunity to develop a therapeutic relationship that allows for openness to explore issues allows for healing, growth and change. My theoretical approach uses a combination of psychoanalytic theory, alongside trauma informed somatic approaches and mindfulness, with attention to how our wider experiences shape us.
I am an experienced psychotherapist and supervisor. My approach is relational and combines psychodynamic theory with other approaches that take account of the wider field that shapes us, including issues of power and difference. You may be feeling anxious, depressed, uncertain or have experienced life events, uncomfortable feelings about yourself or relationships that are troubling you.Together we can create a safe and secure environment where you don't feel judged, helping you to explore issues at your pace. I have a Masters degree in psychotherapy and a diploma in supervision. I have over twenty years of experience in the caring professions including working as a university counsellor, in child mental health services and in the voluntary sector. I enjoy working with people from a diverse range of backgrounds and have experience in helping people with a wide range of presenting issues.
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.
