I am a qualified and experienced Humanistic and Integrative psychotherapist with a background in developmental psychology and psychoanalytic theory. I research and write in ways that seek to extend contemporary psychotherapeutic thinking using narrative, creative and collaborative methods. I supervise individuals and groups.
Psychotherapy can feel daunting, but it is a gentle and often subtle process that moves at your own pace. I use a variety of theoretical approaches, adapting to suit your needs and give you the experience you need to heal and grow. This includes an interest in how past events may be influencing your responses to present situations.
I view therapy as a creative partnership: the relationship between us is the medium through which learning and development takes place.

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.
