I am a qualified Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist specialising in adult psychotherapy.
I have 8 years’ experience in private practice, working with people with a range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, loss, stress and relationship difficulties.
Throughout my working life I have been involved in enabling people to grow and change. Prior to training as a psychotherapist, my background was in Mental Health, and I have worked in the NHS for a number of years adhering to the stringent standards.
My knowledge and skills have developed through my psychotherapeutic work in private practice and working in the mental health field. I believe that there is always something new to learn working in this field and make a regular commitment to on-going professional development and clinical supervision.
I work with people aged 18 and above on an individual basis dealing with a wide range of issues. The length of time patient’s work with me varies according to the needs of each person and includes both longer term psychotherapeutic work as well as short term work. In broad terms, short term work will typically be 6 - 12 sessions whilst working psychotherapeutically at greater depth will take longer. I offer weekly sessions but I am flexible, depending on the need of the person, sessions could be more than once weekly.
I am a member of the of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and. I am bound by and adhere to its Ethical Framework for Good Practice.
