My Approach to Therapy

​

I enjoy helping clients with psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, fears, and adjustment disorders to medical illness.  As well as these issues I am also interested in:

• Boarding School trauma

• Psychological supervision for  NHS doctors and other clinicians 

• Therapy for trainee psychotherapists - she is registered as a training therapist with 3 psychotherapy training organisations.

 

I offer both short term (6 sessions) and long term therapy depending on the client's needs and preferences.

 

I am happy to discuss your needs on the phone first.

​

We live in a fast paced, digitally connected world of varied work and fulfilling social opportunities. Yet never before has the rate of mental ill health been so high, with 1 in 4 of us suffering from a loss of well being leading to mental illness . 

​

The high rates of stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, alcohol and drug abuse, divorce and suicide associated with modern living, particularly during the Covid 19 pandemic suggest attention to self-care is not a wasted effort.

 

Talking therapies are proven to be effective in prevention and treatment of mental stress and distress as well as a good treatment for psychological distress, depression and .  Meeting weekly offers a chance of working through life’s challenges together.

​

The most important factor in good therapy is that you get on well with your therapist.  It is good practice to have an introductory session to see if it will work for you.
