I am a Psychotherapist treating individuals and groups in private practice since 1994. My approach is that of classical Psychosynthesis; to help you understand the meaning of emotional turmoil and problematic behaviour patterns by exploring their underlying, often unconscious causes in a containing environment focused on your needs. Psychological distress is treated as having, at its core, healthy impulses which have become frustrated, impeding self realisation. Therapy proceeds in a practical way; through finding the health in the symptom and fostering its proper expression. The aim is profound personal change.

In addition to full registration as a Psychotherapist I hold certificates in Counselling Theory and Practice from the Central School of Counselling and Theray (Rogerian) and in Group Analysis (the application of Psychoanalysis to the Group), awarded by the Institute of Group Analysis.
