Welcome to my website

As a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor, hypnotherapist and advanced practitioner of Emotional Freedom Techniques I have been in practice for twelve years. I am also a bereavement counsellor, and have worked as a counsellor for the UK's largest addictions charity. I also counsel at a well known mental health charity. I am Director of the Psychotherapy & Hypnosis Training Academy; the Emotional Freedom Techniques Training Academy; a certified psychotherapy supervisor; and a certified EFT trainer (AAMET approved).

My approach to therapy…

… is both integrative and holistic. This means that I use a range of therapy skills rather than just one model. I also work with mind and body as one system rather than seeing them as separate. My flexible and integrated approach means that I can work with each person as a unique individual to help you discover the most effective way of achieving your goals. My experience of a wide range of emotional and psychological conditions and habitual behaviours also allows me to work with the emotional consequences of physiological disturbance. An important part of my work is to ensure that clients learn skills that empower them and help them feel more in control. This might include self-hypnosis, EFT or cognitive and behavioural techniques.

I offer a safe and relaxed environment...

… in which clients can explore the areas of their life that are causing them distress or concern, helping to gain insight into what may be at the heart of the problem. We are often "too close" to what is troubling us. Taking a step back and seeing things from a different perspective, the skilled therapist can provide clients with a more objective view of what is happening. Working together we can explore your concerns, understand them and find solutions.
