About me and my therapy practice

I am a Psychosynthesis-trained therapist and a fully trained psychotherapeutic counsellor. I started my training in 1999 and began a part-time private practice in 2001. After a family break, I returned to training and completed by Master's Degree in Psychosynthesis Psychology in March 2019 and a 7-month Couples Counselling Course in July 2020. I am currently engaged in further training to qualify as a Psychotherapist with the Institute of Psychosynthesis. My practice is integrative and centres on talk therapy. I have experience in mindfulness and self-compassion. I specialise in treating crises of meaning, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and trauma, self-esteem issues.

Practice description

I focus on creating a warm, supportive and confidential space in which clients can explore their inner worlds. My practice is primarily one-to-one work, but I am also trained to work with couples. I work on a weekly basis with 50 minute sessions. After an initial contract of six sessions, I usually proceed to open-ended work. I have worked for services including an organisation working with people with HIV in an NHS hospital setting and a low-cost counselling service. I combine my part-time work as a therapist with work as a publisher of books on personal development, change and psychology. I am a Non-Executive Director of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Private Practice Division.

My first session

An intial zoom meeting is a chance to explore whether or not this is a good therapeutic fit and a potential client's goals for therapy. The duration is 30 minutes after which point we can agree whether or not to proceed with a six-week contract.
