About me and my therapy practice

I think of therapy as an exploratory journey which some of us choose to undertake in order to get to know ourselves better and to improve the quality of our day-to-day living

My belief is that it absolutely is possible for positive change to happen - that we really can grow beyond our histories and/or our current way of being. 

You may be aware of trauma in your past or may be needing some support whilst experiencing a particularly difficult time. Or it may be that you feel something, which you can't identify, is missing from your life. I truly believe that working with the right therapist can help.

In addition to the above, I very much enjoy working with trainee counsellors and psychotherapists, or therapists at the beginning of their professional practice whose work may be highlighting unresolved issues which need addressing.

As a senior-accredited practitioner I bring a wealth of experience, having worked as a psychological counsellor and psychotherapist in a variety of settings - including having worked for several years in the psychotherapy department of a London NHS teaching hospital and for over 20 yrs in an ever-evolving private practice. Importantly, as a fellow life-traveller I also bring learnings from my own ongoing therapeutic journey.

It is so important for each of us to find a therapist with whom we feel a connection. I offer an initial session, free of charge, in order for us to explore whether I feel to be the 'right fit' for you at this time. 

Contact me by e-mail me and I will get back to you within 24 hours.

Practice description

I use an integrative approach in my practice, based on Clarkson's relational model.

I am currently working in person at my home in Guildford and/or online via Zoom
