Prior to qualifying as a psychotherapist, I worked as an entrepreneur, business consultant and as a sales and negotiation trainer. I was awarded my post graduate diploma in 1997 by the CCPE (Centre for Counselling & Psychotherapy Education). I am a full member of the UKCP. I also hold a post-graduate diploma in 'counselling and psychotherapy supervision' and a certificate in CBT from the Beck Institute.
In addition to my private practice, I have worked as a counsellor within the NHS and for several mental health charities.
Anxiety, depression, and low mood
Stress, overwhelm, and burnout
Relationship and couples difficulties
Addiction and dependency
Eating and food-related concerns
Low motivation, feeling stuck, or lacking direction
Life changes, transitions, and uncertainty
ADHD
I work in an integrative way, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches so that our work is shaped around you, rather than limited to a single model. This allows therapy to be flexible and responsive, adapting to what you are experiencing and what feels most helpful at different stages of the process.
My original training was in Transpersonal Psychotherapy, and I also draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gestalt Therapy, and Process-Oriented Psychotherapy. Different approaches can be useful at different times, and together we will find a way of working that best supports your needs, goals, and pace.
Alongside training and experience, the quality of the therapeutic relationship is central to how I work. Clients often describe me as approachable and value the calm, confidential, and non-judgemental space I offer. I work with warmth, empathy, and respect, helping you feel heard, understood, and supported. Even when working with difficult or painful issues, I believe there is room for humanity, humour, and lightness where appropriate, as these can be an important part of healing and change.
