I have worked in the field of mental health for over twenty-five years and as a psychotherapist since 2002.

Whatever it is that has brought you here, be it an agonising moment of shame or an all-consuming rage; be it crippling guilt or unbearable regret and sadness and grief; be it debilitating panic or helpless confusion: whatever you are going through has led you here and is a powerfully important catalyst towards change. What knocks you over can then propel you to seek therapy through learned awareness and courage. So well done for taking this first step: the timing of your arrival in therapy is always the right timing; when your need wells right up to the surface and sends you to me, then I am here.

My work is primarily about forming a collaborative way of exploring together what you need. I work with your patterns of thinking, of behavior, of physical responses, and the embedded feelings, both emotional and somatic. The work is also about helping you to edit your narrative and rewrite your own story by helping you to see things in a more helpful perspective: moving away from self-blame or self-pity and into a balanced, forgiving, autonomous clarity.
