My Approach

My approach is broadly " systemic" in so far as I focus on the relationships that people have, not only with other people but also with their work, their culture, their own histories. However, I have a wide repertoire of experience to enable me to use ideas from other approaches in order to be helpful.

About Me

I am a relationship psychotherapist ( Registered Family Therapist) with extensive experience of working with children, young people and adults, couples, parents and and families. I worked in the NHS for twenty years but I now work independently on-line. I believe the therapeutic relationship is of paramount importance in establishing a good helpful base is for working together to achieve the desired outcomes.

I work with

  • Children and young people
  • Couples
  • Families
  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

Special Interests

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.

I have worked in the past with both foster-carers and adoptive parents to enable healing relationships when children and young people are troubled in their home or placement. My approach to this work is a systemic Family Therapy approach and I draw on trauma-focused ideas as well as knowledge of child and adolescent development to provide the best help I am able.
I have experience of working with eating disorders and can offer counselling to both individuals or to families and couples where there is a sufferer of an eating disorder. My approach is not medical but compassion-focused and motivational.
I have worked with couples privately and within the nhs. I take a non-biased approach to talking with couples, allowing different voices and stories to be heard and enabling reflection and new ways of responding in communication.
I am a fully qualified and registered Family Therapist with 20 years experience in the nhs. My experience includes work with children, adolescents, adult individuals, couples, parents and families across all the age ranges. Mostly this is on-line but I have some capacity for face-to-face meetings also.
As a Christian myself I know how important spirituality can be in people's lives whether it is in the form of organised religion of some other belief and value system. Sometimes there is a need to talk this through with someone who may have some understanding of how spiritual matters play a part in relationships and in our identities. I take a curious and open approach to exploring matters of a spiritual nature.
