I have been working as an integrative therapist for over 10 years and tailor my way of working to meet your needs. I offer both face-to-face and online therapy.

Are you struggling with life and having difficulty finding hope for your future? Do you feel down or angry, struggling to find joy and fulfilment in life? In therapy we work together to identify the causes and find solutions. Are you tired of repeating self-destructive behaviours? Do you feel stuck and unable to move on? Unhealthy habits can develop that lead to us feeling trapped. I create a safe, non-judgmental space in which you are able to identify your problems and find ways to change.

My website has more information where I also offer a free 20 minute introductory call.

I am a Gestalt Counsellor (regsitered with BACP) and started seeing clients in 2013. This was through placements at Hampshire charities No Limits (young people) and Cruse (bereavement).

I am co-author of “Strength to Talk” which is dedicated to men’s mental health with all proceeds going to the charity Mind.

Anyone interested in counselling can have a free consultation session (30mins) to ask any questions and check that we could make progress.

I work as part of a team of online specialist clinical psychologists. We use technology to maximise each session you have and keep you well. We divide ourselves up into areas of expertise – so if you’ve experienced something traumatic, for example, the best professional care you can receive is from a clinical psychologist who has chosen to specialise in trauma. My expertise is OCD, BDD and obsessional and anxiety difficulties, such as perfectionism.

Offers:  Remote Therapy

I provide short-term solution-focused therapy and long-term psychotherapy. I have been working with a wide range of issues including panic attacks and anxiety, bereavement, stress, addictions, relationship difficulties, sexuality, depression and loss of meaning, for over 25 years. Drawing from cognitive behavioural therapy, humanistic/person centred, psychodynamic, brief solution-focused therapy and existential approaches, I adapt the theory to each individual client.  My aim is to clarify those aspects of your life that cause distress, confusion or anger and lead to feeling stuck, blocked, unfulfilled and desperate. Through exploration and clarification we can explore options and choices and come to terms with our issues.
