From my office in Central Bath, I work with individuals on a long term or on an agreed short term basis.
Time is taken to hopefully build trust and understand what is happening currently; and importantly, how early experiences and relationships may have shaped how life is today. I believe this gives a chance over time, to make informed lasting changes, if that is what is wanted. I call my approach Psychodynamic.
I run small groups and conduct Supervision from this Central Bath office too.
I am a therapist working with individuals, a Group Analyst and also a qualified Supervisor, able to undertake Supervision of Supervision.
I am registered with UKCP, accredited with BACP and a member of BAPPS.
I began my work with individuals more than 20 years ago and am now also an experienced Group Analyst and Supervisor.
After a first career in education, my initial training was in Counselling where I had ongoing supervision for my work with a Jungian Analyst. Over the years I have worked with family charities, a sexual abuse charity and a women's prison.
As well as exploring issues of depression and anxiety, I work with people who have experienced complex trauma, neglect and abuse.
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.
