I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and a Group Analyst, having completed two full professional trainings.
I have benefitted from both individual and group therapies myself and am pleased to be able to offer the same kind of self-discovery, insight and support to others.
Professional Experience
I have worked with individuals and groups since 2003 in a number of settings: in private practice, for local charities, in the NHS, and in psychotherapy training schools.
My Private Practice
In 2009 I set up in private practice to work with individuals, and then in 2019 I established a psychotherapy group in my private practice.
While I’m content to work with people for a short period to address their current concerns or difficulties, I welcome having the flexibility to work with people over an extended period, if they wish to, as a way of supporting them to engage at greater depth.
For Local Charities
I have provided:
- individual counselling
- a medium-term counselling group
- a long-term support group (for people with a variety of mental and physical health problems)
In the NHS
I have worked with:
- NHS patients in primary care (counselling in GP practice)
- NHS patients in secondary care (psychotherapy group in outpatient clinic)
- NHS staff (staff counselling)
For Psychotherapy Training Schools
Since 2017 I have provided experiential training groups for trainee counsellors and psychotherapists in two psychotherapy training schools.
I find it satisfying to help the next generation of counsellors and psychotherapists to develop the self-awareness and self-understanding that they will need to support them in their future practice.
Professional Status
I am registered with UKCP as both an Integrative Psychotherapist and also as a Group Analyst.
I am a member of Metanoia Institute, and also a member of the Institute of Group Analysis.
