 I will be taking holiday time the last week of July and the first week of August.

About me and my therapy practice

My formal training is in Relational Transactional Analysis (TA) which is a widely recognised school of psychotherapy combining psychoanalytical, humanist and cognitive approaches. 

Though I work with people who have experienced a broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties and trauma, I have particular interest in supporting people struggling with sense of identity, relationship problems, (including domestic abuse); and those suffering loss and bereavement (including the loss of a loved one to suicide).

Practice description

I passionately believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to create personal growth and positive change in people’s lives. I have experienced this for myself in my own personal therapy, and am privileged to have witnessed it happening repeatedly and consistently in my work as a therapist with clients.

As well as my psychotherapy training and experience, I bring my natural intuition, curiosity and open-mindedness into the therapy room, focussing on helping you understand yourself and your relationships better. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental, safe and totally confidential space for us to work together to explore what may be going on behind the difficult emotions, thoughts and behaviours troubling you.

PRICING

HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS / HOW OFTEN DO WE MEET?

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

I am happy to work long or short-term with you depending on your specific needs or circumstances. Following our initial conversations we will agree upon a plan of action together.

My first session

Following an exchange of emails, and a phone conversation (if requested), we will set up our first session which is a paid fifty minute introductory appointment.

This first session is for us to decide if we think it’s going to be a good fit between us; It’s critically important that you feel and think you’re going to be comfortable talking to me; and I also need to feel and think I’m going to be the right therapist for you. 

At the end of this first session I will ask you to take some time to reflect and then email me to let me know if you wish to proceed.
