Introduction

I am a registered practitioner of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapists via the Forum for Independent Psychotherapists. I am also registered with the Psychotherapists and Counsellors Federation of Australia via the Australian Association of Relationship counsellors.

I have experience in working with people with:

• eating disorders
• grief
• childhood abuse
• trauma
• depression
• back to work
• relationship

I have twenty years experience and have worked in government agencies, community health, and industry. Many people use psychotherapy as a response to the stresses and strains of modern life, to help with interpersonal and business relationships and to learn new ways of responding to stressful situations.

Why Psychotherapy?

In addition to seeking professional help from a GP, it is often realized that medical problems are made worse and sometimes even initiated because we have never learned how to deal with certain situations without feeling powerless and suffering distress.

Relationships

I work with women and men, couples and families with a wide range of presenting issues. I have worked with heterosexual and same sex couples experiencing difficulties in their relationships and I have also worked with survivors and perpetrators of emotional, physical and sexual abuse or neglect.

Many family relationships experience difficulties when shared life goals have changed, unexpected stresses impact negatively on one or more parties in the relationship and communication difficulties eventuate.
I have also specialised in working within a Jungian framework, that is exploring individual's dream material in the context of their life situation.

My fees are £45 for each 50 minute session.
