Main availability for in person sessions is Tuesday and Friday daytimes.

I have limited spaces for online sessions on enquiry

My starting point for therapy is appreciating that we are all extremely complex beings which although infinitely fascinating can also be painfully confusing. 

As well as looking to what is happening and how it might be difficult in the here and now, therapy is somewhere that you can explore the depth of your experience. 

My approach is to create a space for you to feel safe enough to share this with another person and so to be able to see what might have become stuck in a different way.

I am a psychosynthesis counsellor and offer an integrative approach to therapy. This means that I will respectfully use ideas or techniques from a variety of approaches depending on what I feel best meets you as an individual.

I am offering weekly sessions with a view to entering into longer term, in depth work once you feel comfortable with me and we have created a space for this to be able to happen.

I have a long background in creative arts and meditation practices which as well as supporting my own grounding as a therapist means that I am sensitive to the spiritual and creative dimensions of experience.

This does not replace looking at what is happening for you in the here and now and exploring what has happened in the past. It is rather an invitation to considering our experience in different ways with a view to being able to imagine and work towards different ways of being in the world.

To get started we will arrange an initial session. This will involve me getting a sense of who are and what you might be looking to get from therapy. 

It will also be an opportunity for you decide if you would like to work with me.
