About Me

I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist. I work with both adults, children and young people. I deal with people who have a wide range of difficulties including:

anxiety,
stress,
depression,
phobias,
self-esteem difficulties,
relationship difficulties, at home, work, or school
grief and loss,
communication difficulties,
experience of abuse,
attachment disorders

I use a range of therapies, to suit the person I am working with, but my approach is strongly Person-Centred, taking into account the unique abilities and resources which everyone has to help them move towards a more fulfilling way of being and thinking.



Some of the therapy perspectives and techniques I draw on, again to suit the person I am working with, are:hypnosis; CBT; solution-focused therapy; Gestalt therapy; NLP; psychodynamic.

I am an approved psychotherapist for the charity Anxiety UK.

I have also worked as a school counsellor. With children, who can often find it especially difficult and sometimes daunting to say what they are feeling, I work with a range of arts materials, for example drawing, painting, modelling, sand-play, stories, and puppets, to help them to express themselves.

I have particular expertise in working with adults and young people with learning difficulties, and with children. I have worked for many years as a speech and language therapist with these groups, and am currently very involved in promoting counselling services to address their emotional needs for them where appropriate.

Specific techniques such as signing and picture symbols, can also be used with people who have learning disabilities/communication problems in order to help them express matters which are of concern or anxiety to them.

I frequently liaise with other local services where necessary, including schools, CAMHS, and various NHS departments, and will refer on after discussion with clients, if there is a need to do so.
