About Me

I am an experienced psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and young adults. I work from comfortable rooms in the centre of Kendal and I take pride in offering a welcoming and friendly environment in which to explore and resolve difficult issues.
I have worked in mental health throughout my career; alongside my work in private practice I worked for many years within Growing Well, a farm-based mental health charity I founded and managed; after which I went on to manage their therapetuic community for people with personality disorders.
I am a Certified Transactional Analyst and a Provisional Training and Supervising Tranactional Analyst (P) and consider myself skilled to work with a wide range of mental health issues and comfortabel to work with people with significant distress where necessary.
