I am a UKCP registered existential psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and families.
The aim of my work is to increase understanding and deepen insight into patterns of experience and behaviour which clients identify as problematic and wish to clarify and resolve. This is the case whether you consult me as an individual, couple or family.
I have over 20 years experience of helping people in this way. I have worked as Adult Psychotherapist within four NHS departments since 1998 and in private practice since 2002. I have lectured and supervised at many reputable training organisations in the UK. I now work full-time in private practice as a psychotherapist.
The heart of my practice is careful and attentive listening. I speak in ordinary non-technical language and ask many simple questions. The setting is intimate and cooperative and conversations are confidential.
My practice is dedicated to individuals, couples and families experiencing a wide range of personal emotional difficulties. Some people attend psychotherapy with a specific problem, for instance addiction, anorexia, depression, anxiety etc. However, other people attend for a deeper analysis which isn’t focused on eliminating a specific symptom, although the symptom will often disappear as a consequence of this exploration. I work with the full range of problems in living which psychiatry claims to deal with.
The approach I take is rooted in a tradition known as existential phenomenology. This is a method designed to help people whose daily lives have become problematic by clarifying their experience of themselves, their significant others, and the relationships between them and these others. Hence, it is investigative and demystifying. The aim is to facilitate reflective self-examination in order to bring about change.
