Chartered Psychologist, Psychotherapist

Untitled design2.png

Welcome
I am a chartered psychologist and existential psychotherapist. I also teach therapy, and I write and speak about trauma and recovery. I keep a separate author website here.

​​

Therapy with me
I offer a warm, straightforward, and inclusive therapy where adults can explore their situation and discover new ways forward. People come with mental health concerns such as anxiety, trauma, dissociation, depression, or panic. Others seek support with life challenges, including burnout, bereavement, addiction, stuckness, isolation, and fears of many kinds.​

​

My approach
I will meet you as a unique person and we will develop an approach based on who you are – in the unique context of your personal history, your family story, your relationships, your planet and your purpose. I won't presume to give you answers or advice. I will hold a careful, creative and challenging space in which you can rediscover and reconnect with your own creativity and wisdom.
