What makes me unique is the eclectic learning experiences I have had on my way to becoming a psychotherapist in my 50's. So I have a big tool box and draw on many different approaches to enable you to make sense of your current issues in the light of your past experiences so that you have more freedom to make changes and choose the life course you really want. I am trauma informed, developmentally minded and brain based, but I also account for the power of the human spirit to overcome the past and to live fulfilled and abundant lives.
Having a safe space to talk about yourself, so that you can gain self-knowledge is part of the therapeutic process. I offer an hospitable space to enable you to start that journey and I support you through building an honest and truthful relationship. I question, enquire, listen, enabling you to know what you think by being able to see what you say.
Come to see me, if you are willing to go on a journey. The destination may be unknown. Even if you do not know how things could change or be different, if you are suffering and in pain and you are sick and tired of being tired and sick, then it's time to find healing, growth and transformation and move towards wholeness. All things are possible.

I work with clients who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression related to work, relationships or trauma. During our sessions, I will delve deeply to understand the issues at hand, and work with you suggesting appropriate therapeutic approaches to help address the issues in a way that helps you to move forward. I expect clients will see a gradual easing of symptoms over a few months.

In the first few sessions I will do a lot of finding out about you, explore what has brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I don't have a one size fits all approach but I usually start with Transactional Analysis to get going and then incorporate other therapeutic approaches as the work progresses, including ACT and IFS. I'm mindful of trauma and work towards recovery.
