Welcome to My Psychotherapy Practice
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or searching for greater fulfillment in life? You don't have to face these challenges alone. I offer a compassionate, professional space where you can gain clarity, heal and grow.
Why Choose Therapy?
Life can be complicated, and at times you may find yourself feeling lost, frustrated, or unable to pinpoint exactly what's holding you back. Therapy provides a dedicated time and safe space to explore these feelings and understand yourself more deeply. Whether you’re seeking to improve your relationships, enhance your overall well-being, or simply find more joy and balance in life, psychotherapy can be a powerful step towards positive change.
My Approach
I believe that every individual has the innate capacity for growth and transformation, given the right conditions. My style is warm, non-judgmental and empathic, placing your needs and pace at the centre of our work together. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your goals, whether you wish to explore longstanding patterns, navigate current challenges, or find new ways to thrive.
Together, we will work in the here-and-now, gently exploring your feelings, thoughts and experiences. I draw upon a range of therapeutic techniques—including enquiry, gentle challenge, interpretation and illustration—to help you increase your self-awareness and make the changes you desire. My aim is to support you as you build a more fulfilling and joyful life.
What to Expect in Sessions
- A welcoming, confidential space where you are truly heard
- Support and guidance tailored to your individual needs
- Compassionate listening and a focus on building trust
- Practical tools for understanding and overcoming challenges
- Work with both individuals and couples
About Me
My professional journey began in healthcare, qualifying as a nurse in 1984 and as a midwife in 1988. Over four decades working in the NHS—including a decade as Director of Midwifery at two major London Trusts—I developed a strong foundation in caring, leadership and support. My style has always been rooted in compassion, mentoring and coaching, which I now bring into my psychotherapy practice with individuals and couples.
Following my retirement from the NHS in 2020, I committed to training as a psychotherapist, specialising in Transactional Analysis. I have completed four years of advanced training, am working towards certification, and am supported by an experienced supervisor. My ongoing professional development includes workshops, conferences, and a specialist certificate in working with couples.
