My practice of Counselling, Psychotherapy, Supervision and Hypnosis is Humanistic Integrative. In lay terms, my role is to help you to understand the difference between how you see your life and what you expect it to be – and how it really is – while respecting your values, personal resources and capacity for self-determination.

Together, we can work with whatever issues you choose or feel a need to address. For family problems, including abuse, a psychodynamic approach recognises the importance of your unconscious and past experiences and their affect on your life. If addiction, anxiety, sex or sexuality, phobias, panic, eating disorders, esteem, obsession, self harm, confidence and/or depression are an issue, cognitive, behavioural, thought field, art, and philosophical therapies can help you to recognise negative beliefs that are influencing your emotions and help you to alter habitual thoughts and behaviour. For bereavement, relationship and life trauma and crises, person-centred therapy provides an accepting listener so you can express emotions and come to terms with negative feelings.

As a humanist drawing on the wide-ranging benefits of all these therapies to provide you with the most effective and integrated care, I focus upon your potential because I believe in your ability to increase your capability and creativity to reach your highest levels of consciousness, awareness and wisdom.

Sessions are offered on the hour between 10am and 9pm from Monday to Friday and are 50 minutes long, once a week, or as required. The duration of our therapeutic relationship is yours to determine; quite simply, as you knew it was time to enter therapy, you will also know when you feel ready to finish.
