Personal Statement

Therapy will help clarify what is happening in your life, lead to you better understanding negative patterns and beliefs, and to allow you to discover your true thoughts and feelings around troublesome issues. In gaining clearer perspective, different options become available, which will help enrich rather than limit life, giving you a sense of achievement and fulfilment.

I have practiced as a full time psychotherapist for 24 years and have extensive experience in working with people from all cultures and walks of life. In addition to my private practice I have worked as a senior counsellor and the leader of a university counselling service. Please email me should you have any further questions before booking.
