Background

I have spent over 30 years working with people including managing and training others in a corporate environment.  I have been a psychotherapist and counsellor for over 20 years.

I have worked within the NHS, GP practice, alcohol service, foster care industry and in private practice.  I have experience in working with many issues, such as anxiety, P.T.S.D, depression, abuse, stress, relationship, low self esteem, phobias, addictions, sexual, bereavement to name but a few.

I work with individuals, couples, young people and families.

Approach

I use an integrative approach, within a framework of Psychodynamic, CBT, humanistic, psychodynamic and solution focused. I am also an accredited EMDR consultant therapist, which is the World Health Organisation’s recommended treatment for trauma.

What does this mean?

This means that I will work with your own individual needs, listen to what you want and tailor my approach towards you achieving your goals and ultimately, feel better!

What you need to do

I will challenge you to work hard as I believe that people can adjust their behaviours if they want their lives to change for the better.  That means I will help you every step of the way to make sure that this is not a quick fix, but something lasting that you bring with you in the future.
