I offer a space where you can be deeply listened to and understood

I am a UKCP registered psychotherapistand have an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy.  My first training was in Gestalt and I am also influenced by mindfulness/awareness meditation which I have been practicing and teaching for many years.  

My approach is to bear witness and validate your experience:to pay attention to what you are experiencing, what you want to express and your life story; where the patterns in your experience have come from. I work at being present both to you and myself, to see what happens between us.  My job is to constantly work at understanding and appreciating how you think and feel from the inside out. Everything you think and feel has some meaning and intelligence: it is trying to tell you something.

My Experience

I have worked with a wide range of clients of all ages and experiences. In Oxford I worked with refugees who were traumatised, suffering severe dislocation and isolation. In my private practice I work with a lot of people trying to find an inner confidence in who they are and to be able to bring this into their relationships: this includes how to manage their emotions including fear/anger/anxiety. I also work as a consultant to the civil service on management, leadership and how to build strong and effective work relationships.
