About me and my therapy practice
I'm a psychotherapist and counsellor with over 20 years of experience. My passion and aim lies in helping individuals and couples to live better lives by tackling issues like anxiety, depression, anger, communication, trust and more. I also work on boosting self-confidence, improving relationships, and navigating through times of loss.
In our sessions, I provide a safe and supportive space where we can explore your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and how your past experiences shape your present. Together, we'll look at ways of thinking, behaving, and communicating that can lead to positive changes in your life.
I offer both brief and longer-term therapy, depending on your needs. My approach is collaborative - I take account of what seems to work best for you and your goals. I've worked extensively with men's concerns, which can benefit both male clients and their partners.
Sessions are conducted via online video or ‘phone, which could make it easier for you to access the support you need. Subject to availability, sessions are tailored to fit into your schedule and typically last 50 minutes (30 minute sessions are also possible – please contact me for details/cost). Limited in person sessions are mainly for clinical supervision.
I qualified as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor, have a postgrad diploma in clinical supervision & consultancy, a postgrad certification in couple therapy and have undertaken further trainings in CBT skills, EMDR, Assessment, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Mindfulness. My approach is integrative and eclectic, drawing on various techniques to help your specific situation.
If you're interested in working together, or have any questions, feel free to reach out. I'm here to help you face life's challenges and progress towards your goals.
