I am an accredited psychodynamic therapist with many years experience.

I can offer short term or long term therapy.

My preference is to work in person but I can also work online.

I work from a light and comfortable garden room which is accessible via some steps.

Starting therapy can be a daunting experience and I will provide a safe, confidential and supportive space for you. 

Together, we can think about the challenges and experiences in your life that may have brought you in to therapy, with a view to helping you gain understanding of yourself and why you feel as you do.  

Most importantly, we will work at your pace, allowing you to take the time you need to make sense of thoughts, feelings and whatever emotions may come up for you.

I will take time to deeply listen to you with kindness and empathy, appreciating the courage that you have bravely shown to start this often difficult journey to feeling better about yourself and your life.

I will help you understand your patterns of behaviour and why they may have formed. These may no longer be serving you well and be preventing you from moving forward in your life.

Our first session will give us an opportunity to consider whether we would like to work together and I will be gaining further information about you and current and past people and events in your life.

This will be charged at the same rate as a therapy session but will be an hour long, all other counselling sessions will last for 50 minutes.
