I currently have some availability.

It’s not always easy to put words to your difficult feelings or to make the changes you want to make. I am an experienced psychotherapist, helping people to explore and to grow. I work with adult clients, creating space to think together. We build an understanding of their world, their challenges and conflicts, exploring new perspectives and creating frameworks for personal change. My approach is based in psychodynamic and person-centred counselling and psychotherapy. My clinical experience includes 5 years delivering treatment in the NHS for adults suffering from severe mental health conditions, including depression, personality disorders, schizoaffective disorders and adjustment disorders. In addition, I draw upon 25 years management experience in the creative industries and cultural heritage sector in the UK, Hong Kong and UAE.

I listen carefully as my clients talk and reflect about the circumstances of their lives. This means exploring their history, their family, their expectations, goals and conflicts. We work together to build an understanding of their situation and their difficulties, their conscious decision-making and unconscious habits. It is often an uncomfortable process, exploring their inner world and the possibility of change. I support and challenge my clients carefully throughout.

Initial consultations last 60-90 minutes. Together we explore your reason for seeking therapy, the nature of your difficulties and the type of help that might be useful for you. You will have the chance to ask questions and discuss any concerns you might have about engaging in therapy. It is an opportunity for us to both to consider if we feel comfortable working together and to provide a basis for deciding a way forward.
