Working Practices:
Sessions
Alongside my private practice, I support various projects that align with my values of accessibility, authentic expression, and healing from trauma, particularly childhood trauma and abuse.
Relationship Counselling
I specialize in couples and relationship counselling, using powerful approaches including the Drama Triangle and Imago Therapy. As a trained Imago Therapist and member of Imago UK, I help couples transform their relationships by fostering deeper understanding, improving communication, and creating new patterns of connection.
Whether you’re experiencing conflict, feeling disconnected, or simply want to strengthen your bond, I provide practical tools and insights to help you navigate challenges and build a more fulfilling relationship together.
My training was largely in Transactional Analysis though I also have a Certificate in CBT and training in Gestalt and Person-Centre therapy. I now consider myself to be an Integrative Humanistic Therapist.
I am a UKAHPP Full Member: Accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (Registered) and additionally a member of a register accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (via UKAHPP).
I am an experienced therapist trained in several modalities. As an integrative therapist I can focus on the experience of the therapeutic relationship and can adapt to your needs and style using my many years of experience working with a wide range of clients with varied issues and backgrounds.
I will help you to experience a warm therapeutic relationship to support the changes you want to make to improve your experience of life. I also use my pre-therapy experience in the music and IT industry in particular to good effect. I work with individuals, couples and young adults mostly. My focus on the relationship is enhanced by my current project using the Imago Clinical techniques. I am an accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a trained psychotherapist.
I belong to UK Association of Humanistic Psychology Practitioners, part of UKCP humanistic school. I have had many clinical hours and a similar number in support roles with autistic spectrum, learning difficulties and psychiatric hospital clients. The majority of these are adult 1:1 though also with couples and family therapy and about one third of my hours are with children and young adults (mostly 9-25 year olds) so am experienced in all those forms. Total clinical hours are now over 5,000
I cover all types of issue from relationships, communication and self-esteem through mood disorders and dependency having worked with drugs, alcohol and gambling in the latter. In recent years I have also worked with an increasing number of neurodivergent clients, particularly with ADHD and through this and my own personal experience feel I can offer a unique perspective.
An increasing part of my work is in couples therapy using the Imago methodology and my experience as a traditional couple therapist. I am a trained Imago Therapist awaiting accreditation.
