Counsellor, Psychosexual and Relationship Psychotherapist
Coach and Supervisor
BASRT accredited, UKCP registered.

  I have worked as a psychotherapist in an NHS team whilst maintaining a full private practice for the last fifteen years. I have been accredited with BASRT since 1998 having gained a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychosexual Psychotherapy from the Southbank University working in conjunction with the Whittington Hospital.  

I am passionate about two areas of my work. The first is working with couples.

I encourage and support clear communication and I work a lot with couples who maybe are in conflict, or who have a sexual issue or who are perhaps just bored with being in the same couple.

Over the years I have found that open communication is the foundation stone of a good relationship. Many is the time in my practice room one half of a couple has spoken their deepest darkest truth or both have argued bitterly but with honesty and have managed to stay together with goodwill.

Firstly you need to have a good working relationship with yourself in order that you know what you want and need to function well enough in any relationship. One to one Psychotherapy sessions can work with that.

Secondly, once in a couple, it is important to find a Couple Counsellor, Coach, Therapist and Supervisor that you both feel that you can work with. It is also important that the Therapist feels that he/she can work with you. It is a mutual assessment.

I co facilitate three groups, one for couples, one for single people
and one for gay men, all entitled Communication, Relationships, Friendships
and Love.

  My second area of passion is the encouragement and support of people just starting out in this profession. I take a special interest in the personal and professional growth of therapists who are just beginning their professional career. I run supervision groups and offer individual one to one sessions for therapists in various stages of their development.

I facilitate a group called ’Setting Up Your Practice and Getting Clients’.
