About me

I am a BACP accredited therapist with considerable experience in private practice and working for Employee Assistance Programmes. In addition, I supervise other professional counsellors and trainees. In private practice, I support people with a wide range of presenting problems, including: family and relationship problems; work issues; anxiety and depression; grief and loss; drug, alcohol and gambling problems, and trauma recovery. Blending person-centred and existential approaches, I put your lived experience and unique perspective at the heart of our work together to identify key themes and patterns. Through our exploration together, we then explore alternatives to help you navigate a way forward. At the heart of this is our relationship as client and therapist - my aim is to help you feel relaxed and at ease, to be able to talk about your problems in a non-judgmental setting and to help you get to the essence of the problems you are experiencing. As an integrative practitioner, I also draw on other approaches where necessary - in particular solution-focused therapy to keep in mind a future focus, transactional analysis to help you explore patterns of relating to others, and mindfulness techniques for anxiety and managing the impact of trauma.
