In times of emotional struggle, personal therapy can help you find your strength

Start your journey today

Sometimes life can feel like one long busy conveyor belt, and we can become so focused on our immediate problems and feelings that we forget to look beyond the boundary of our everyday existence, and lose sense of what else might be possible for us.

Therapy can help us to explore what has made us who and as we are, what strengths we possess that might make our lives more meaningful, and how we can better deal with emotional wounds and life events that threaten our personal growth.

Using a pluralistic approach, I can offer you a supportive relationship informed by person-centred, psychodynamic, humanistic, gestalt, and existential traditions in a warm, non-judgmental setting.

I offer psychotherapy, counselling or coaching wherever you are and whatever your time zone.

Face-to-face therapy

In my therapy room or outside in the gardens and meadows we have the benefit of tranquil surroundings and the sure knowledge of confidentiality. In the outdoors especially, the proximity to nature brings an enhanced awareness of self and relationship to the eco-system generally. There are many advantages to this traditional face-to-face model of therapy, ranging from simply ‘being’ with each other to the opportunity it presents for interactive and experiential learning.
Online therapy

Online therapy via zoom allows for much greater flexibility and accessibility and achieves excellent outcomes especially as this mode of working has grown in familiarity. It is particularly suitable for people with time constraints as it eliminates travelling time to and from the therapy room, for those whose work involves domestic and international travel and who would otherwise miss appointments, and for all people who for other reasons, cannot travel to access the traditional face-to-face mode of therapy. Given the reliance on the internet of this approach, good IT connections are required, and it is also necessary for you to commit to working in a confidential space.
Telephone therapy

Telephone counselling can also achieve good results and is especially appropriate for those who are anxious in social situations, who are not comfortable with IT, and who have left their home for holiday as it allows continuity of therapy across different locations at home and abroad. Your commitment is required to create a confidential space.

A collaborative relationship

Using a pluralistic approach, I can offer you a supportive relationship in a warm, non-judgmental setting, using on-line, telephone, or face-to-face therapy informed by person-centred, psychodynamic, humanistic, gestalt, and existential traditions.

In particular, I work with bereavement, identity, life transition, loss, and trauma; and I am able to do this with clients of all ages, including children and young adults.

The emotional disturbances accompanying these personal experiences embody a range of feelings including anger, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, guilt, shame, and existential worries, which represent obstacles to development. These are all states of mind that I can help to alleviate in a collaborative relationship.
