My Approach

Hello! I am a qualified and accredited psychotherapist, working from a lovely studio in WimbIedon Village. I work with clients facing a range of difficult issues. This is usually long-term work, but can also be short-term depending on needs.

About Me

You may want to embark on a journey of deeper self-knowledge, to understand how adverse childhood circumstances left their mark. I help people to discover lost parts of themselves, so they can show up more fully in the world. This involves finding new qualities, taking back projections, reconciling opposites in the psyche and finding balance. I work creatively, sometimes with play, art, imagination and dreams.

I work with

  • Individuals

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.

Whilst I don't work with life-debilitating addiction, I do work with those addictive habits which are a crutch in life, for example, a little too much of something which numbs the pain and is covering a wound which needs to be healed. Addictions always lead to the wound, so I see them as helpful guides in a way.
So many people suffer from anxiety. Whilst there are multiple causes, generally I find that it arises as a result of an adverse childhood experience/s. Usually there's a lost child part who is holding the anxiety.
When there are issues in a couple's relationship it can be another useful signpost to a childhood wound. There is a wonderful saying: "Love brings up everything that isn't love." I do not tend to work with couples, but rather individuals. However, when a client is in a relationship it acts as a touchstone to what needs to be healed.
Relationship, both with oneself and with others always surfaces as an issue after a childhood of adverse experiences. I have run a seminar called: early childhood, blueprint to relationships.
I am a qualified in EDMR which I use with trauma. This tends to be the drip, drip, drip of complex childhood trauma - neglect, not being seen, heard etc.
