Psychotherapist

I am Australian born, having moved to the UK in 1999. I had a career in IT before retraining as a counsellor/therapist. Perhaps I wish that I had done this earlier - I love the work I do now.

I have worked as a therapist for the NHS, or - as you find me here - in private practice.

I have worked with a very broad spectrum of people: stay-at-home parents, elderly or retired people, college students, working professionals, prisoners - with a parallel broad spectrum of issues.

My experience is that even if we can't remove your current problem from your life - we can "turn the volume down".

I work using a combination of psychodynamic and person-centred approaches. In summary, together we will work out how you got here and how you feel about it - from there, in our quietened environment, you will be better able to change or move forward.

I provide face-to-face or video sessions, for long or short term work.

I start with a free introduction - either face-to-face, video or a phone call. This takes around 30 minutes - we will talk about your current situation, an overview of your history, and the issue you may be facing. At the end of the introduction together we will decide what we are going to do next.

As a profession therapists we sometimes list the problems that we can help with - for me it is easier to tell you the few things that I prefer to direct to other specialists: I choose not to work with children, couples or active addiction. Other than that, if you are an adult with a problem - then I am here for you.
