About me

I am a Gestalt trained psychotherapist working in Mapperley, Nottingham. I have a private practice where I see clients and supervisees. I can offer in-person, online and telephone sessions. I have 25 years experience working in private practice and in university counselling services. I am registered with the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy www.psychotherapy.org.uk). I work with individuals and groups.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I had a variety of jobs. Originally I did an engineering degree; I have since worked in local authority and in residential care supporting adults with learning disabilities. I strive toward integration, trying to pull together different aspects of life, such as logic and emotion or light and shade. I enjoy a practical and pragmatic approach to working with people.
