It takes courage to engage in psychotherapy and counselling in the quest for change, and my humanistic principles ensure we are an equal partnership in the process. I am an integrative psychotherapist, using a combination of theoretical approaches that take account of you as a unique individual and your relationships and contexts. My many years of training and experience in combination mean that I have been able to offer therapy for people with a wide range of presenting issues.These include:

My experience includes working as a university counsellor for students and staff and as a psychotherapist in the voluntary sector.I have worked for Parent Infant Partnerships (PIPS), offering psychotherapy for parents and babies together and in therapy groups.

Understanding the sociocultural context and challenging my own cultural privelege is a priority. I am committed to further training  and to working creatively and holistically with you.
