My therapeutic approach although essentially psychodynamic is informed by other ways of thinking and working including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), mindfulness, attachment and mentalisation-based theory (MBT).
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with advanced training and over 20 years extensive experience with an established practice in the centre of Tunbridge Wells.
For many years I worked as a Bereavement Support Worker with CRUSE Bereavement Care and a senior therapist for The Counselling Centre Tunbridge Wells (TCC) , latterly as a nominated therapist for students training to be counsellors at TCC which is a member of the local National Counselling Network Centre (NCN) whose aim is to ensure provision of high quality professional counselling to the local community.
I completed supervision skills training with the British Psychotherapy Foundation (BPF) but currently do not offer therapeutic supervision.
As a physiotherapist, I worked for many years in hospitals, schools and the community. As a Public Health Specialist for South East London NHS I was Screening Coordinator for all NHS Cancer Screening Programmes covering the boroughs of Bromley, Bexley and Greenwich.
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.
