I work with young people, adult individuals and couples. I focus on the ability to create and sustain life enhancing relationships - at work, with relations, with partners, friends, children. This usually involves resolving the emotional trauma or confusion of earlier relationships.
Most of my clients experience themselves as distressed, confused, conflicted or 'struggling' rather than 'ill' but I can work with people who have a mental health diagnosis provided there is sufficient reality testing to sustain a talking therapy.
I work in a style that addapts to the client's presentation and needs, as described on my website, including the use of Mindfullness and meditation techniques for depression and anxiety.
I am willing and able to work with clients within their religious or spiritual framework if they desire that.
I am an experinced Drugs and Addictions Therapist and can work with clients in recovery and seeking to develop more awareness and sensitivity.
I work by telephone as well as face-to-face.
I supervise the work of other counsellors and psychotherapists.Qualifications & Training Certified Transactional Analysist, registered with the Institute of Transactional Analysis.
