Background
I worked for several years as a social worker before continuing my professional development by completing a six year training course to become a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. I initially worked in the NHS and then moved into private practice which allows me to work at a deeper level with my clients.

I work with individuals, couples and teenagers to enable them to find resolutions to their emotional problems.

I am in regular supervision and work within the codes and ethics set by my professional body the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
