​As a psychodynamic counsellor, my practice is based on the idea that by looking at our past experiences, we can better understand why we behave as we do in the present. 

​Each individual is shaped by their upbringing and past relationships, and by exploring this together, we can work towards greater insight, self-awareness and self-acceptance.    

I have worked for Gloucestershire Counselling Service for a number of years as a staff counsellor and as an assessor.  I also work with young people as part of my private practice and have worked in several secondary schools.
