Whatever your reasons for being here ... you are very welcome.
I'm a down to earth and experienced Psychodynamic therapist. I also provide Clinical Supervision to Student Therapists in Training and experienced Therapists.
I welcome people from ALL backgrounds and have many years experience of working with a wide variety of client groups. Specialist areas of interest include : LGBTQ+, Autism in Women, the effects on mental health from oppression and how we use language to harm and/or help ourselves.
I am always searching for better ways of helping people who struggle with mental health. I read extensively and selectively. I attend selectively chosen CPD which enhances my professional experience and stretches me into new ways of thinking about the human condition. Although I consider myself to be a Psychodynamic Therapist, I am also trained in other modalities. What is important to me is that I use what is most helpful for you.
