My Approach

My approach is client centred, confidential and collaborative. I offer a secure and confidential space in which to discuss whatever it is that may be troubling you: be it anxiety, depression, long-term emotional difficulties, or a lack of fulfilment or a sense of meaning or purpose in life or finding a transition in your life circumstances difficult.

About Me

Summer 20206 -I have space to offer reduced fee clinical supervision to two or three psychotherapists, counsellors or trainees.
My approach is psychodynamic/Jungian and provides a reflective space to think about clinical work, process, ethics, and the therapeutic relationship.
Sessions may be weekly or fortnightly.
Whether you are qualified or still in training, this is a supportive opportunity to deepen your practice, build your confidence, and receive guidance tailored to the stage of your career. My approach is friendly and collaborative, encouraging you to ask questions, explore challenges, and develop your professional identity in a nurturing environment.

People who come to see me have experienced a range of issues in life. These include relationship difficulties (both heterosexual and LGBTQ+), post-natal depression, low self-confidence or self-esteem, difficulty communicating feelings and emotions, suicidal feelings, addiction, abuse, self-harm and eating disorders, unexplained health symptoms, issues relating to having been at boarding school and trauma. I have worked for several years in the voluntary sector, private practice, a secondary school and the NHS (psychotherapy unit and for GPs). Some concerns can benefit from a focussed short-term approach, but others may benefit from a broader approach that also takes into account an individual’s personality as a whole as well as their upbringing and any particular life events.

I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist and a jungian Psycho analyst. I am registered with The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and anAnalytic member of the Society of Analytical psychology. I am also a Senior Accredited Member of the BACP.
