Psychodynamic
I have been working as a psychotherapist in private practice for more than 30 years. I believe in the importance of building a good working alliance in order for clients to get the best out of their therapy sessions. I have worked as a clinical supervisor and, for the past 20 years as a clinical manager in a number of community organisations.
I am also an Associate Member of the IGA and facilitate Reflective Practice groups in organisations.
