About Me

I am a full-time, experienced psychotherapist in Cobham, Surrey.


Good psychotherapy can enable you to experience life more in the way you want to. I don't believe that anyone is predestined to be a certain "type" of person or to behave in, or feel, a particular way. Of course, sometimes much of the work can be about a person just appreciating and valuing more of who they currently are.

We will learn how unique elements are creating your symptoms or causing you to feel unsatisfied, distressed or struggle and look at how this can be different in your day to day life in order to shape life the way you want and need.

My training combined traditional psychotherapy theory with more contemporary techniques, which enable your individuality to be reflected in our work together. Please refer to my website at www.thistrustedplace.co.uk for further information.

I've also written a personal development book called "Finding a Balanced Connection" that you may find helpful. Book reviews include: “Life changing knowledge”, “Inspiring, practical, useful and engaging... written in a no-nonsense style that really appeals and helps you believe that things are really possible” and “I think this book will change the way you see and go about your life”. It's available on Amazon.co.uk. There's also an online personal development course called 'Life Unlimited' that's available on my website if that might interest you and be helpful.
