An Individual Approach

I view life as a journey involving development and growth with obstacles along the way. While I work across a broad range of mental health difficulties I work with people to co-create a language, a way of understanding what we uncover, to make sense of personal struggles, to help empower people, to find words for things they could not express before.

After postgraduate training which focused on existential and humanistic counselling models I trained in Gestalt therapy. Over the last twenty years I have worked closely with Jungian practitioners to develop my own unique approach to psychotherapy which is relational, conversational, gentle, thoughtful and intuitive yet robust and challenging.  

I view therapy as an experience that fundamentally involves a relationship between therapist and patient. I explore the unconscious as conceived by Carl Jung making it more conscious through the use of dream material and artistic works produced by patients. In addition to this, through the use of the therapeutic relationship  I work to ease the grip of trauma or complex affect that limits personal growth.
