Accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, systemic family and couples practitioner and clinical supervisor, in Nayland, Suffolk.
You may come to psychotherapy with a specific problem, with a difficulty of long standing or with a dissatisfaction whose cause you cannot find; any one of these is reason enough to begin. Psychotherapy offers relief first. What follows is slower and matters more: an understanding of your life and history wide enough to hold the problem that brought you. I shape each therapy to those who come rather than to a method, and I work within the BACP’s Ethical Framework.
