You want to make the best decisions about your relationships and career, learn from the past to make a better future, or make clearer sense of how your life has unfolded. If you are finding life difficult or confusing, if you feel depressed, anxious, fearful or overwhelmed, we can start where you are now.
I offer warmth, consideration and non-judgmental open-mindedness, allowing you space to set the agenda and use our relationship as a safe haven where you can make sense of your life experiences, develop confidence in your own capacities, find authenticity and learn to work in your own best interests for satisfying life.
My background is in psychoanalysis and developmental psychology. As a psychotherapist I combine the best classical and contemporary theory from across the arts and sciences. Psychology, psychoanalysis, the neuro- and social sciences help make sense of experience, but change is a creative process so the arts inform how I facilitate transformation and growth.
I create a safe and personable online atmosphere, where we can achieve a good enough sense of human presence and connection to allow therapeutic work to take place in spite of our physical separation. I take your privacy concerns seriously and do all I can to protect the confidentiality of your data in the digital environment.

Groups
Intervision: Online Group Supervision

For qualified counselling and psychotherapy practitioners of any modality. The clinical supervision group is an opportunity for qualified counselling and psychotherapy practitioners of any modality to share approaches, exchange theoretical influences, and understand psychotherapy and counselling through the different cultural and socio-political lenses that our histories, circumstances and countries of residency give us. We usually begin by sharing what we are noticing arising for each of us in our practices and/or the social and cultural arenas we inhabit, and then move into specific client material and/or topics relating to practice.
