I’m trained in a number of different approaches with a Person Centred focus. I draw on Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic learning and Object Relations . I’m also trained in CBT. But fundamentally I just work with you as an individual with your own unique experience and perspective on life & issues. I don’t give advice but offer empathy and a dynamic, change based therapy approach in a compassionate way. 

I understand coming to therapy can be daunting and I try to make it as relaxed as possible for you. However, getting better nearly always involves exploring and perhaps facing some things we might find distressing. My aim is to psychologically hold you whilst we go into these areas. Many clients come for relatively long periods of time to get the most from their therapy - it is an organic process in many ways in the sense we may start with your main presenting issues but often cover many other areas you want to look at and improve. Or you may not even know what you specifically want to work on but just have a sense of unhappiness or stress. 

I develop a good working relationship with my clients - this relationship is unusual in the sense that it is very intimate in many ways but also boundaried by confidentiality, time and professionalism. It is however a relationship in which I offer care, understanding and often challenge also. Challenge is essential in therapy as we can develop unhealthy beliefs and habits which no longer serve us. 

Therapy is not advice giving but is a deep listening & understanding of you as a person.  I will often start work with you by getting an overview of your life, your childhood, current interests, work life, relationships etc. but I will also try to respect areas you aren’t ready to go into yet or may of course not be interested in exploring. 

Overall I hope I can say clients experience a great deal of care in my work with them, and enhanced understanding of themselves, which leads to greater peace & uplift in mood. 

My practice is home based, empathetic, accepting of you as you are but also working with in areas you want to change or understand. My room is cosy, eclectic and private. I’m based in a village not far from Fakenham, Kings Lynn and Dersingham.
