WHY THERAPY; You might be feeling down, stuck, confused, hopeless, helpless or experiencing really difficult emotions. You may have experienced a particular challenging or traumatic event or events. You might have been thinking about it for sometime & saying, no I'm fine; it's really typical to not ordinarily talk to anybody. Perhaps you doubt yourself & are critical of yourself. You may have tried self-help & you are finding yourself in the same patterns & want to understand patterns. You may be going through relationship difficulties or there seems to be no other alternative but to break up.

MY WORK COVERS; family & childhood, inner child, health issues, body aches & pains, eating, depression, anxiety, stress, abuse & sexual violence, negative belief systems, trauma, PTSD, Complex PTSD, attachment, relationships, codependency, marriage, divorce & separation.

THERAPY FOCUS; The three pillars of my work are Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, Imago Couples Therapy & Somatic Body Therapy. Across this I work relationally & / or with a trauma focused approach.

I WORK WITH; adults, couples & young people.

I WORK FACE TO FACE; indoors & outdoors in Cheshire & South Manchester areas in Cheadle & Wilmslow.

I WORK ONLINE; UK wide & internationally through Zoom, with a particular focus on London & Home Counties.

I WORK OUTDOORS; in nature with walk & talk, outdoor therapy & wilderness therapy

FOR COUPLES I also offer private couples therapy days & weekends, these can be UK wide for face to face & at clients houses.

INDIVIDUAL WORK; This is based in Transactional Analysis (TA) Psychotherapy. I believe experiences & emotions are stored in the body & I help clients learn what’s happening in their bodies & use this to achieve shifts & change. I am a ‘why’ person & believe in going backwards to understand & acknowledge in order to go forwards. This includes body & emotional regulation techniques. I enjoy helping clients be curious, join the dots, peel back the layers, gain awareness & to have a different experience in life. Some clients want information & some clients are looking for information & change. I also work with 'parts' theory & use creative techniques to help clients with understanding.

COUPLES WORK; This is based in Imago Couples Therapy (ICT). Imago is the latin for ‘image’ & is the term used for the unconscious image we hold for our potential partner. Imago (Harville Hendrix) helps couples understand why they were attracted to each other, teaches about stages of a relationship & understand how they got in to difficulty. I work with the Imago Dialogue process which provides a safety to develop understanding, communication, validation & empathy. I really believe in the process & see the difference with the work being between the couple, as opposed to directed at the therapist. 

FOR INDIVIDUALS; This will vary dependent on each client. We might just talk, you might want me to know specifics about your story or an experience, I might ask you questions & you respond. If there is trauma of any degree we will make a point of slowing down & not going in to detail & it might be we purely focus on safety & stabilisation with emotional regulation techniques.

FOR COUPLES; We will take time to make sure you feel as safe as possible & feel present in the session. You will take turns to say why you have come & what you are hoping for. I will aim to introduce the Imago dialogue process & the appreciations process. You will learn the basics of the Imago approach with some initial theory. The aim is you have enough information & as much of a taster to decide if the Imago approach feels right & if you would like to come back & meet again.
