I am a psychotherapist with 30 years experience of working in addiction. I specialise in helping adults with alcohol, drug and pornography problems, but also work with those struggling with anxiety, anger or relationship issues.

As well as practising privately, I currently work at The Nightingale, a private adult mental health and addiction hospital in Marylebone in central London.

An initial consultation to discuss your needs in more detail is half my usual session fee. 

Take care of yourself.

How I work

I am an ‘integrative’ psychotherapist, which means I believe that a single therapy approach will not help you with all issues that arise for you, and that there are many different therapeutic ways for problems to be explored and worked on. Consequently, I draw techniques and ideas from different ‘schools’ of therapy, depending on the needs of the people I see.

At the heart of my work is helping you see that your emotions aren't a problem, but your defences against them are. As long as you avoid the healthy expression of your emotions, you will feel anxious and employ cognitive and behavioural defences that will create problems for you. Our therapeutic task is to help you see and let go of these defences.

An initial session to assess your counselling needs is charged at £42.50
