My approach is psychodynamic and group analytic (including supervision), and I started as a therapuietc counsellor in 2005.
I have a twenty-year career that has spanned work in addiction recovery services, working with people in recovery who have underlying trauma; working with young people and adults with attachment disturbances; and working with people who are diagnosed, or think they may be, neurodivergent. My other experience also comes from working within the NHS in crisis teams as a highly specialist psychotherapist, in secondary care psychology as a group and individual psychotherapist, and in other organisations, as well as my work in private practice.
I am a qualified group analyst, clinical supervisor, psychotherapist and counsellor.
My accreditation is with the UKCP. I have experience in working with people who suffer from depression, anxiety, relational and relationship issues, and people who are recovering from addiction. I also work with people who have work related stress, as well as those who have suffered trauma. I have had specialist training in EMDR, which can treat trauma as well as phobias and other anxiety disorders. Many people seek therapy for a whole variety of issues and life events.
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.
