Sometimes difficulties can have a major impact on our well-being, relationships or work. Maybe friends and family can offer some support but we may also choose to see a qualified and experienced practitioner, who can provide a safe space in which to work with whatever is going on for us.
I have a wide range of experience, over almost 20 years, including working in the NHS and in a GP practice as a Lead Therapist and Supervisor, delivering Relational Integrative Therapy.
I draw on Psychodynamic and Person-Centred approaches, relational CBT and CFT (Compassion-Focussed Therapy).
I will listen carefully and support you to explore your current difficulties within a warm and emphatic therapeutic environment. Together we will look at ways of dealing with these difficulties in a way that is helpful to you and builds resources for the future.
I work with the following issues on a daily basis:
-Anxiety and panic attacks
-Depression
-Trauma/PTSD (post traumatic stress)
-Relationships/family
-Anger/emotion regulation
-Self esteem
Additionally I specialise in:
-OCD
-Working with parents of children with special needs (SEN) and with partners of people on the autism spectrum
Sometimes none of these apply but you may want to understand and improve the way you relate to people in general.
It is very important to find the right therapist and I therefore offer the initial 20 min (online or phone) free of charge. This will give us the opportunity to find out if I am the right fit for you.
I offer sessions indoors or outdoors, depending on suitability.
Indoor sessions are £110 (50 min), outdoor sessions are £100 (50-60 min). I have limited lower fee spaces.
I offer short-term (between 6 and 10 sessions) or longer term counselling depending on your individual needs and circumstances.
