The experience of coming for therapy is an opportunity for you to discover for the first or subsequent time in life that you can let go of all the judgements, the fear and hesitation, and begin to talk about what is bothering you. We become wounded within a sense of connectedness - in families, relationships, friendships and society - and paradoxically it is within a sense of connectedness that we can begin to heal.

Individual Psychotherapy (Online)

What often brings clients to individual psychotherapy is a sense of conflict within their relationships or within themselves or unresolved trauma, along with the desire for the suffering either to be resolved or to be made meaning of. I believe that there is no such thing as 'fixing' people. The goal of therapy is to become more conscious of all that happens within an individual and within their relationships, so that from this new sense of becoming awakened, a person can make choices to change the course of their lives.

The effort in therapy lies in being open to discovering the answer that would naturally arise from you, out of your own inherent wisdom that you perhaps are not yet able to see.

Couples Counselling (Online)

People often come to relationship therapy when there is a lot that they have tried amongst themselves, and nothing seems to work to make two people understand each other.

The type of psychotherapy I offer aims to facilitate a space for you so that you can get a deeper understanding of what happens within the unspoken space between both of you, and how your individual life histories - more often than not - continue to play a role in influencing how you relate to each other. My focus in relationship psychotherapy is twofold: to understand how your past shapes your present, and to understand what is happening between both of you in the here and now.

Individual Psychotherapy: Is offered online. Fees - £75 to £85 (based on affordability)

Couples Psychotherapy: Is offered online only at present. Fees - £110 per appointment.

Online Group Supervision: I offer group clinical supervision to Counsellors, Psychotherapists and Trainees from Marlborough & Wiltshire. Fees - £40 per practitioner.

Clinical supervision of counselling and psychotherapy work offers a nurturing and supportive space where you can step out of the intensity of your work in the therapy room, and begin to reflect on the unconscious undertones of your therapeutic relationships, and the ways in which they impact you.

Supervision with me is about being able to think the unthinkable, see the unseeable and to learn to work skilfully with what is challenging. I believe that supervision should help you feel more skilled, confident and capable in doing the work that you love.

My approach, at its core is relational, psychodynamic and trauma-informed.

We would be paying attention to the unconscious processes within the therapy room, including how these processes might linger on with you, and how to begin to detach from them. We will look at how the historic, unresolved and unmet relationships of a client repeat with you and others in the clients’ lives, and how this knowledge can enable you to facilitate a deeper therapeutic process and a more empathic relationship with your clients.

Supervision Training

I am currently pursuing an advanced training in supervision, at the Institute for Group Analysis, London, with a psychodynamic orientation. I will be writing a qualifying paper at the end of my training, and by seeking supervision with me, you understand that I will be writing about our work by fully anonymising any details about you or your clients to respect everyone’s privacy. 

Why Choose Group Supervision?

Group supervision with me is an invitation for you to see the richness and the depth that a group can give each participant when trying to understand the unconscious processes of your clients, and of your therapeutic relationships. A group offers a multi-dimensional picture of what a client brings to therapy in the unspoken space.

Group Supervision Can:

• Cut down the isolation of being in private practice,

• Give a sense of being human when faced with the challenges of clinical work

• Feel a part of a community of therapists

• Help us learn about wide ranging clinical presentations by listening to others' experiences.

Counts Towards: Your Monthly Clinical Supervision or Continued Professional Development (CPD). Group supervision will cover you for your work with Individuals, Couples and Groups.

Fortnightly Commitment to Supervision

By seeking Group Supervision with me, you would be committing to attending fortnightly supervision each month. Just like in therapy, it is the continuity and consistency that help us to go into depth, and therefore, this commitment is to ensure just that.

I have a Thursday mornings Online Supervision Group in the forming. The group will run fortnightly on 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month from 10am to 12.10pm. It will have a maximum of 4 participants, and the fees per participant will be £40. It will cover you for your work with Individuals, Couples and Groups.
