My Approach

I use a broad range of approaches that facilitate the exploration of the underlying, repressed, and unconscious motives and patterns that may have been directing your life, and influencing your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships beneath your conscious awareness. Uncovering these hidden motives can be healing and life-affirming, and can help in developing emotional resilience.
Using a synthesis of approaches means that to the best of my ability, I seek to develop a way of working with you that is especially designed for you. The approaches I draw from, I especially draw from Humanistic, Relational, Psychodynamic, Existential, Jungian, Archetypal and Transpersonal approaches. Transpersonal practice draws from dreams, myths, creative mediums and imagination to address deep-rooted emotional concerns which can have a surprising impact on specific life difficulties. Or, we may explore transpersonal matters such as meaning, calling, soul, ecology and the more-than-personal. Integrative psychotherapy draws from the wisdom of the psyche and its creative and integrative functions to widen perspective, release feeling, and to increase self-awareness. Whatever your individual reasons are for coming to therapy; I am here to support you to explore your life circumstances and to gain meaningful insights into the difficulties you are experiencing in a safe and containing way.

About Me

I am an Integrative Transpersonal psychotherapist and counsellor. I have been working in private practice and in the voluntary sector since 2003. I am a registered member of UKCP and BACP. I work online, and have a private practice in Kingston upon Thames providing in-person sessions to adults and counselling students around a wide range of issues. My training which is based on the ‘Relational’ model of ‘Depth Psychotherapy’ allows me to work within a framework of support in which it becomes possible for my clients to restore their own sense of uniqueness. It enables me to foster and maintain deep and sustained emotional contact, and a supportive relationship that empowers and embraces difference and diversity.

Since 2003, I have worked with clients from all walks of life, and with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression and loss of meaning, bereavement and loss, abuse, trauma, dissociation, chronic shame, isolation and withdrawal, difficulties involving difference, discrimination and marginalisation, life transitions and creative self-discovery.

I have experience of working therapeutically with more complex issues, such as PTSD, Borderline Personality and Dissociative Identity Adaptations, Physical, Emotional, Sexual, and Institutional Abuse, and with neuro-diverse clients, counselling students and artists.
