My Approach

Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

I offer a calm space to think, feel, and find your way.

You can bring whatever is troubling you.

I offer psychotherapy and I'm also a Senior Practitioner Coach (EMCC-accredited). We can work out together what might suit you best.

I’m an experienced professional, gentle and supportive even when challenging. I don’t judge or tell you what to do.

I’m experienced working with interpersonal violence, abuse and trauma, domestic violence, sexual violence and abuse, including the use of substances to cope. I don’t bring victim-blaming into the room. I taught social justice for many years. Come and experience therapy that understands the complexity of what has happened to you and how you survived it.

If you work in a university, the pressures are huge. I have 25+ years of experience in the sector. This is a space separate from work; you will be able to speak freely with me. If you’re experiencing stress in any workplace, I work with that too. I’ve also done internal workplace mediation training, so I can draw in mediation approaches where they’re useful. Please get in touch and let’s talk about what you need.

If you are looking for weekly therapy with a UKCP-registered psychotherapist, I’m a good choice as I’ve experienced the intensity of the training, taught psychotherapy at two universities, and I’m the co-author, with Pete Sanders, of Step in to Study Counselling and Psychotherapy. PCCS Books. Come and chat about the requirements of your course. I always keep some spaces for students/trainees.

If you write, particularly if you write memoir, I can support you as you grapple with your craft in the context of your life. It’s tough work.

I'm always seeking to develop my intersectional lens, to be anti-oppressive. I welcome cis-gender, heterosexual, LGBTQAI+, trans and non-binary clients and I work with awareness of relationship diversity. I seek to offer a neuro-affirmative space.

Please do get in touch if you’d like to have a free initial call. Share whatever you feel comfortable to share. There’s no pressure, no obligation. All sessions are on Zoom or on the telephone, so we can work together wherever you are. I offer flexible times.
