Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ

I am available between 10 am - 5 pm.  Evening appointments by arrangement.

I am a Psychodynamic Counsellor (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ senior accredited) and a CBT Psychotherapist (BABCP accredited).  I have a psychology background (psychology degree and experience working in an NHS psychology department as a therapist). I work with a range of emotional and life problems: Anxiety, Depression, work related issues, relationship difficulties.

I work in a collaborative frame and I have a Humanistic philosophy which respects client autonomy and respects the individual's way of being. 

I retired from the NHS in 2011 after 17 years of working in Primary Care Psychological Services, and Psychology Mental Health Department.

I now have a private practice working from home and I freelance.

I have been in private practice for the last 12 years.

Sessions are 50 minutes duration and payment is at the beginning or end of the session; either by BAC's transfer, cash or cheque.

A cancellation fee of £5 is charged, at the next session, if the cancellation is outside 24 hours notice.

The first session is an Assessment session in which we have an opportunity to discuss any difficulties, and I will take a brief personal history together with name, contact numbers etc.

I have a Therapy agreement form which we both sign, if we agree to work together, which outlines agreed fee and time of sessions, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ ethics, etc. and makes clear my professional relationship with you.  

Assessment gives an opportunity to meet and to briefly get to know each other.
