I'm an experienced psychotherapist with a passion for people, potential & change.

10 years into my career I have worked with a wide range of clients, aged 18 to 80 from different cultural & ethnic  backgrounds and clients with different sexual orientations. My work has taken me into charities ,secondary schools and the NHS (supporting staff ) .

Change and how we learn, grow and adapt , whatever our background, is the source of my personal and professional motivation .It is , afterall, one of the hardest things we try to do .

How I work

I'm an integrative therapist, specializing in attachment. Attachment relationships are those we developed with our main caregivers and these lay down patterns for relating throughout life. Attachment-based therapy helps clients move from insecure attachment by providing a new relational experience which is sensitively attuned and responsive, enabling clients to ‘earn’ their own security. The goal is to recreate in therapy an ‘attachment' experience which aims to make up, at least in part for what may have been missed first time around.

I anticipate our work will be insightful, pragmatic and collaborative . It may be short term and solution-focussed or longer term and unfolding . Whichever it is it will be led by you. Sessions are charged at £60, with the initial consulation charged at a reduced price of £30 to allow you to establish whether I'm the right therapist for you and for me to assess whether I have the skills to support you.

How we work together

We will reflect on gaps between perception and reality, between beliefs and facts and in understanding and knowledge. My aim will be to support you wherever you are to where you want to be , enabling a process of growth and change .
