About me and my therapy practice
Nobody said it was going to be easy. But there are times when anybody might need some help.
Confusion, doubt, sadness, worries. Feelings of loss, grief, anger. Physical pains and illnesses. Behaviours and relationship patterns that we know make things worse but we don't know how to stop. Somehow we grow up with a sense that we should be able to manage all these things alone.
There might come a moment when you realise - I can't do this alone anymore. I need someone to listen, to think with me, to help me make some sense of how it has come to this. And to be there as I move forward in a new direction.
Practice description
I offer a space to think, talk and reflect on what is going on for you. It sounds so simple. But entering therapy is like buying yourself the gift of time. Time set aside for you, in a safe, warm environment, every week, for as long as you need it, until something begins to shift and you are ready to go it alone.
My training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling. My aim is not to give you the answers, but to help you rediscover in yourself the parts that know how to find them. I am a highly experienced psychotherapist, supervisor and teacher. Please feel free to be in touch.
My first session
In our first meeting, I will ask you to tell me about yourself and what is bringing you to therapy.
The assessment usually takes place over more than one session to give us both a chance to reflect on whether I can offer you what you need.
The assessment sessions are charged at £90.
