Psychologue pour adultes et therapeute pour couples certifié (Imago). J’accueille tous les couples, y compris ceux du même sexe, et les individus de tous horizons culturels et ethniques.

Je suis également spécialisé en soutien psychologique des personnes atteintes du cancer.

As a Supervisor & Psychotherapist, over 35 years of my adult life have been dedicated to working with others in their quest for well-being. You may be dealing with a recent, disturbing event leading to anxiety, depression & stress & could do with someone to help you move on? Or perhaps you have a difficult choice to make & need help to see clearly? Or perhaps you just feel unhappy & don't really know how this came about? A difficulty in a relationship or within the family? Whatever the cause, we can work together to unearth whatever is getting you down so that you can move on.

Let's work together to figure out the next steps to feeling better: Seeking help, as you are doing by searching this site, is a brave and important step in satisfying your own needs - in doing this, you are already creating some relief and a pathway towards yourself as you wish to be. You may feel lost or confused as to what comes next, but you have already shown that you can think in new ways and adapt in order to change a situation which isn’t working for you. Our task is to get in touch with feelings that can further open up your awareness, to allow change to happen.

My ideal client is honest enough to acknowledge their issues and brave enough to voice them in the counselling room. The ability to ask for help when needed is an important component of a successful counselling relationships

Hello, and thank you for reading my profile. Are you looking for long-term, in-depth, psychotherapy? Or do you have a particular issue you need to explore in counselling? Perhaps you're a qualified practitioner looking for a clinical supervisor. I could be that person for you, if we find we are a good fit. Whichever best describes you, my work is underpinned with an understanding of spirituality as a personal jorney into the nature of suffering. I think of spirituality as a pathway to self-development. Specifically, I work with mindfulness and Buddhist psychology to explore your current state of being, in mind, body and spirit.

I love helping people and finding solutions to things, which is why I became a therapist over 25 years ago and developed my practice to include coaching and supervision. I am an experienced therapist with a warm, caring, open and direct approach. I have an active, therapeutic practice focusing on solutions and strategies to understand and address personal issues and problems. I have a global outlook having worked with with people from all backgrounds and nationalities and lived in different countries. I provide a safe, confidential space to explore your life and what you need moving forward.

Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, I will sit with you in a safe space, listen to you and together we will get to know your inner world, however messy, complex and conflicted it may seem to begin with. As a result as eg. childhood trauma, toxic family dynamics, discrimination or the experience of being neurodivergent (self or externally diagnosed) in a neurotypical world you might feel not good enough or even ashamed. The world might feel like it is too much or you might not feel much at all. Together we will work to re-built a way to relearn to relate with yourself based on agency, authenticity and wholeness.

I'm a neurodivergent, dual qualified Clinical Psychologist and Family & Couples Therapist with over 25 years experience, including working as a NHS Consultant Clinical Psychologist. I divide my time between a NHS specialist ADHD & Autism Service and my private practice, specialising in neurodiversity in adults. I provide ADHD & Autism screening and diagnosis, utilising validated and structured assessments. I also offer CBT for ADHD group therapy, coaching and evidence based therapy. For neurodivergent people in employment, intervention may be funded by Access to Work.
