What sort of therapy?

I aim to provide therapy which respects each person's individuality and potential for growth through the therapy relationship. My approach is informed by attachment theory and the relational approach to psychoanalytic psychotherapy as well as an understanding of humanistic psychotherapy. According to your needs, I can offer Psychotherapy and EMDR therapy separately or in combination.

Training and Qualifications

I have BA(hons) in Psychology and a post graduate teaching qualification. I trained as a psychotherapist at the Centre for Attachment-based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in London, in arts psychotherapy with children at the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education and in EMDR with EMDR Workshops. I am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy.
