I am an Integrative and Relational Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I believe that establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship is the primary task of any therapeutic journey. I draw upon Person-Centred, Existential, and Psychodynamic ways of working. Through the use of the therapeutic relationship, and helping you to understand yourself better, I would hope to enable you to work through current difficulties and/or repeating unhealthy relationship patterns. I work short term and open-ended. I am a UKCP Registered Psychotherapist and a BACP Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist (MBACP Accd). I am also a UKRCP Registered Independent Counsellor/Psychotherapist (UKRCP).

I offer each potential client a free pre-therapy half hour session for us to meet and discuss the possibility of working together.
