About Me

I offer online or telephone psychotherapy and counselling sessions.  I am an integrative psychotherapist, and use a range of therapy approaches which are adapted to suit your own individual needs. 

 

My main model is Transactional Analysis, but I also use other theories and models.  I'm particularly interested in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and in working with neurodiverse clients using this model.

​

I've been in practice since 2006, and have trained in a variety of therapies and in lots of different places.  I'm also a full clinical  member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy.

Sessions last for 50 minutes. It varies how many sessions people feel they need.  Generally, I seem to work longer term with clients, but I am happy to work short term which is usually 6 or 8 sessions.  Again, this is very individual and is something we can discuss together.

I'm in my 40s and the road to becoming who I am today hasn't been a direct or smooth one!  In my twenties I finished my university degree and felt very uncertain about my future, and what would come next.  I trained and worked as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist initially, before meeting the family, I'm now proud to call my husband and children.

​

At various points in my life I've experienced sadness, uncertainty, grief, and a strong sense of difference, which led me to seek out my own therapy.  It was during my own therapy that I realised that my difference was in fact neurodivergence, and that I wanted to train as a TA psychotherapist and support others in accepting their own difference.

I feel a strong connection with nature and have a love of animals.  I have 3 dogs and love to be outside with them, however, they do occasionally join me in my zoom sessions.
