Armed Forces Counselling in Amersham
I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and a Doctor of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy candidate at the University of Exeter. With over 25 years of clinical experience in the NHS (CAMHS) and private practice, I offer a sophisticated, relational approach to healing. My work is grounded in the belief that our present struggles—be they anxiety or relationship patterns—are often shaped by unconscious scripts. By decoding these deeper patterns, I help you find a sense of agency and lasting change. While my background includes social work and art therapy, my focus remains on the transformative power of the psychoanalytic relationship.

I am an experienced, Relate trained, counsellor specialising in relationships, depression and anxiety. Maybe you have tried hard to improve things but so far nothing much has changed. My role would be to help you identify what needs to change and to give you techniques and insights to help implement those changes.
Relationships need to adapt and change over time and this can be difficult. Problems are often caused by poor communication and we can look at techniques to enable you to communicate in a way that avoids conflict and promotes a greater understanding of each other.

As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

Therapy with me is a space for honest exploration. It’s a chance to increase awareness, find clarity, and reconnect with yourself. I believe that therapy is a deeply personal and collaborative process. We’ll work together to explore what’s going on for you, develop insight into patterns or difficulties, and support your growth and healing.

If you are experiencing emotional distress, anxiety, depression, negative beliefs or unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns you will already be aware of the negative impact they have on your physical health, your relationships and your life overall.
