CERTIFICATES AND MEMBERSHIPS

I'm a down-to-earth therapist with just the right dusting of the intuitive and the poetic. I'm deeply kind, in your corner always, and I can be blunt and challenging when its called for. 

I have worked for 30 years as a behaviour change Social Psychologist. I trained as a Psychotherapist 15 years ago. I trained in somatic/body based psychotherapy in the USA 7 years ago with the late and highly respected Dr Patricia Frisch.

I am trained in multiple therapies and work with the mind and body together.  For me, this is the right way to work because people need different therapies and benefit from one approach over another.    

I know anxiety inside out and I'm a clinical specialist in every aspect of anxiety treatment. 

I’m a clinical specialist in working with neurodiverse clients and adapt all therapies to specific and individual needs and preferences. 

Every new client ‘Starts Sure’ with a 60 minute introductory session where we set the ambition and the timescale for therapy and map out the best combination of therapies to work with from the Therapeutic Fitness Range.

You might be very hard on yourself and see everything as your fault because you're broken in some way. I don't see everything that's going on for you as your 'problem'. I work with a keen eye on the world you and I are just trying to navigate as best we can. That world can feel broken, brutal, anxiety inducing and overwhelming.  

I believe that the right therapy can resource you with the skills and confidence to work better with yourself, do your internal repairs or adjustments and help you navigate the complexities of the day to day without losing yourself. That might relate to relationships, work, health, family or the political and environmental context.
