My Approach

My current focus is developing my work with couples using Imago Couples Relationship Therapy. I am constantly impressed with how couples find this approach helpful by relearning how to ensure they are heard accurately and how to listen more effectively to their partner. Through your work with me you will:
- Learn about being in relationship and how this helps you grow. Explore your communication and how to ensure you are heard accurately and how to listen effectively.
- As a couple discover Imago Couples Relationship Therapy, an intervention that helps couples listen to each other and be heard in a refreshing way, reducing the conflictual elements by exploring the tensions that arise and can push couples apart. You will gain greater warmth, fun and intimacy through learning the techniques I will teach you.
- As parents, explore your strengths and rediscover the positive parenting you have been doing, as well as learn how to manage the tensions that arise between parents and can get in the way of you being the parent you want to be.

About Me

I have now accumulated over 50 years of professional experience, 45 years of marriage, 41 years of parenting and 70 years of life experience that i bring to share with the people I work with. I have worked extensively helping families, couples and individuals over the past 40+ years in charitable organisations, statutory services and the NHS. For the past 10 years I have worked as an independent practitioner in Surrey. I am currently unavailable for new clients. My website is currently unavailable (as of 15/08/26) due to some technical issues. I hope to have this resolved soon.

I work with

  • Couples
  • Individuals

Special Interests

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.

When grief becomes overwhelming and your usual coping mechanisms are no longer enough it makes sense to seek professional support to guide and hear you in this confusing and difficult time. Family and friends can be really important at this time but an outside perspective may offer the opportunity to share what might seem strange thoughts and/or experiences you don't feel comfortable sharing with them.
In addition to my Psychotherapy qualification I am also a Certified Advanced Imago Couples Relationship Therapist.
Using Imago Couples Relationship Therapy I support couples to become better emotionally connected, increase their intimacy and relearn how to listen to and be heard by their partner.
I work systemically with professional therapists, Local Authority Early Help workers. Housing Officers, Refugee and Resettlement workers and managers.
