Life can be difficult and challenging, if you’re fed up of just getting by, if you feel that your mood is low yet again and you are struggling with anxiety or overwhelm then talking therapy may be for you.  My aim is to help you reach your full potential, to feel fulfilled.  Some people find that having a private confidential space just for them, with an expert, who is not family or friend gives them the space to process complicated feelings and thoughts.  The benefits can be enormous in terms of a re-set for a healthier and happier life.

As a psychotherapist I am qualified to Master’s degree level and I have a further training in emotion-focused experiential therapy (Intensive Short Term Psychodynamic Therapy or I.S.T.D.P.).  This allows me to work at a deeper level and if you have had counselling before and found it didn’t work for you, you might wish to try me.

I offer an initial free 15-minute consultation so you can get a flavour of how I work- this allows you and me to see whether we could work together.  You will find that I pay loving careful attention to you moment by moment in our sessions together and my aim is for us to collaborate on paying loving careful attention to you to counteract the ways in which you have forgotten yourself, your feelings and your needs.  

If you decide to go ahead we would have an initial 2 hour session, either online or face to face.  I am based in Derby, UK. This will give you the opportunity to fully experience ISTDP therapy.

This could be followed up by sessions of your choosing in terms of length.  I recommend weekly or fortnightly sessions to begin with in order not to lose momentum towards your goals and establishing our relationship.
