I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist . I have worked in counselling services in culturally diverse communities, and in low-fee psychotherapy clinics and in private practice. I work with gentleness and sensitivity with anxiety and the emotional difficulties that can affect our health, our relationships, and our well-being.

Empathy, quietly-held attention and understanding are central to my work.

Depression, low mood, a loss of confidence, anxiety about our close relationships, parenting and caring issues, a bereavement, challenges presented by a life change, the enduring effects of childhood experiences, and questions around identity and difference are among the many things that can affect our sense of self-worth and our ability to live a fulfilling life.

Counselling provides a space and regular time in which difficulties can be spoken about and explored.

The thought of meeting with a therapist can be daunting, but it provides the opportunity to make sense of your individual circumstances.  My practice is a safe place in which you may talk in confidence about whatever may be troubling you.

Initial consultations are given without obligation.

Reduced-fee therapy can be requested.

I currently see individuals in Ware.

I  work from a pluralistic perspective using different theoretical models - psychodynamic, humanistic and existential, all of which offer helpful and healing benefits for personal growth.  I am especially interested in our capacity for creativity and the many ways it finds expression in our lives.

My approach is relational, therapeutic, and non-judgmental. 

Sessions are 50 minutes in length, and are held weekly at the same time and on the same day of the week.

The initial consultation gives you an opportunity to tell me about yourself and your situation, and to see if you feel comfortable talking with me.

The frequency of the sessions and the benefits of short or longer term courses of therapy are discussed. Courses of therapy are generally offered as open-ended agreements.

Reduced-fee therapy can be requested.
