About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified counsellor and family therapist with over 30 years’ experience of working in both the public and private sectors.

I work with a wide range of clients: individuals, couples and families. I have 20 years' experience of working with young people, in education and at CAMHS (NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service). I have worked for 10 years with couples at Relate. I now work independently. I adapt my approach to individual needs and use a wide range of psychotherapeutic approaches, always prioritising creating a safe and supportive environment.

Training and qualifications

I have Masters degrees in Counselling Psychology (Universities of Brighton/Sussex) and systemic psychotherapy (Tavistock Centre, London) as well as a supervision qualification from the University of Surrey. I am registered with UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) and member of AFT (Association of Family and Systemic Therapy).

My first session

Introductory call

I offer an initial free 20 minute telephone call so that you can find out more about what I offer as therapy and is the first stage in deciding whether we want to start working together.

Initial consultation/first session

This is a 50 minute session to allow for you to ask more questions about my work and for me to know what you hope to gain from therapy and whether I can help. It is therefore also an opportunity to finally decide whether we can work together. If so, we can then discuss the terms and conditions and agree on a contract.
