I am very mindful of how difficult finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with can be and I offer a calm and compassionate approach, while we gain an understanding of your concerns. My primary therapeutic method is ‘psychodynamic’ but I draw on a variety of ‘models’ to help in whichever way is appropriate: These may include CBT or EMDR. Once we have revealed, talked-through and understood the root causes of your concerns we can examine ways of dealing with the issues and moving forward. This is a very much a joint effort where we work together to help you through the troublesome episode and out the other side.

I am BACP Accredited, fully insured and Authorised by Aviva, AXA-PPP & BUPA. I have been in clinical practice for 20 years, both in the NHS and privately. My experience ranges from working with in-patients presenting severe psychotic disorders during my time at Basildon Hospital, through to self-referred patients with neuroses or just simple issues.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (Lao Tzu) - "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself". (Roosevelt) These two thoughts can be a springboard to find a way through the darkest of episodes and allow us explore what has brought you to the feelings you are experiencing now and how to manage them for the future.

We will gently explore the experience you are having, its impact on you, your life-style and those close to you. Sometimes the happiest moments in life can be when you gain the courage to let go of those things you cannot change.
