About me

One of the most important experiences in my life was a confidential counselling relationship in which I felt safe and supported to explore the issues that were of most concern to me. It is this that I seek to provide clients, whether their reasons for coming to therapy are to change ways of coping in life that no longer work, to improve relationships, feel more in touch with themselves, or any of dozens of other reasons that might prompt someone to seek support.

I work mainly using Internal Family Systems (IFS), but I am an integrative psychotherapist, as well as having trained to Advanced Level in the Core Transformation approach. I use different approaches to suit the uniqueness of each person. Much of my work involves clients exploring how past developmental traumas show up in their present day lives. Most of my clients are looking for Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS), which is a fast-growing and effective therapeutic approach. Whichever approaches are most appropriate, my work is underpinned by ‘person-centred' principles such as empathy. I charge £65 per session.
