I have been working full-time as a psychotherapist since 2002 and have over 12,000 clinical hours of experience. I know specialise in EMDR, I offer a huge depth of experience as was formerly a Senior Psychotherapist with a community mental health team (CMHT) within the NHS and as a psychotherapist in private practice.

Additionally, as I have an unusual dual training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Humanistic & Integrative Psychotherapy, I am uniquely placed to offer a flexible and powerful approach to psychotherapy. I now also incorporate Transference Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) and Schema Therapy into my work. Over the last few years I have almost become very interested in Jungian ideas.

I use an integrative approach to psychotherapy based on my training in a number of different models. This approach is underpinned by a psychoanalytic understanding of human development, motivation and behaviour.

Although research has overwhelmingly proven that past attachments styles shape our identity, the type of therapy I offer concentrates on what is happening for the client now in their lives and/or how they react in the therapy itself, with a view to altering, mostly in small subtle ways, aspects of who they are
