After a brief career in Interior Design, I soon found that I was more interested in the internal world than in shaping external environments, so I embarked upon  many years of training - first with the London Marriage Guidance Council, then the Institute of Group Analysis (IGA), and lastly at the Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP).

I am qualified to see and treat adults individually and / or in groups, and have worked with couples and family groups including adult ‘children’ since the mid-seventies.

I think of psychotherapy as being broadly a maturational process that comes about as a result of the unique and confidential relationship between patient (or client) and therapist, which fosters personal and emotional development through the exploration of current issues in the context of the patient’s familial past and lived experience.

Developing the capacity to reflect is implicit in the work of psychotherapy,  and the medium through which it becomes possible to see more clearly, to think ‘outside the box’ and to process more constructively the issue,  situation or event which prompted you to seek help. It is also possible to think of psychotherapy as an ‘investigative process’ that most people find interesting and even come to enjoy. 

A first meeting – or initial consultation is an opportunity to explore if psychotherapy could be helpful and whether I am someone you feel comfortable talking to.

There is no obligation to continue beyond an initial consultation but a follow-up consultation is often useful.

If it is felt that psychotherapy could be helpful, regular ‘sessions’ can usually commence without delay, most commonly once or twice-weekly at an agreed time or times, but may be more or less frequent. 

Finding a therapist can be difficult so I welcome enquiries and am happy to arrange a time to speak briefly (up to 20 minutes) as a preliminary and complimentary ‘first step’ which is often the hardest.

I am a Member of the Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP) and registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC).
