I am an  accredited therapist with BACP since 1996 and a practitioner in Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy( DIT) accredited by British Psychoanalytic Council. I am also  qualified supervisor.  

I am a very experienced, warm, perceptive and dynamic therapist.I believe therapy is a life-affirming process which can support you through difficult times and enable you face your future with greater insight, confidence and preparedness.

I work with people to help them to find their way, make changes and move forward, a space to explore and think. I am committed to identifying and working with what it is that blocks us and what it is that helps us to change and cope with the losses, hardships and conflicts internally and in our relationships with others and the world. Troubles and problems may arise when we are stuck or feel overwhelmed and isolated. When we are in such a vulnerable state, traumatic patterns can replay, we can feel unequal to events or life can simply appear too challenging.
