Psychotherapy provides a confidential place where hopes and fears, conflicts and desires can be allowed to surface in a safe and holding space. Forgotten experiences from the recent or distant past are forming the person’s ways of thinking, feeling and being in the present. These may be limiting and unhelpful in their lives now.

What I can offer:

• My practice brings together a synergy of over twenty years of psychoanalytic practice with its acknowledged importance of the Unconscious, insight and understanding.
• The significance of the emotional rapport with the therapist.
•My experience of profound body work in Primal Integration therapy.
• And my training in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) as an Advanced Practitioner with the Association for the Advancement of Meridian and Energy Techniques. (AAMET.)


Emotional Problems may appear as:

Emotional Freedom Techniques

Memories are only memories to the conscious mind. To the unconscious they are current events. Patterns of emotional distress get encoded in the body/mind interface of the person’s energy system.
Emerging research on the Meridian and Energy Techniques is proving it to be a powerful and effective adjunct to ‘talking therapies’.
Tapping on particular points on the face and body produce a kind of reprogramming which can catalyze desired changes in a person’s thoughts, emotions and behavior. When monitored on MRI scans, distress levels registering in the brain are shown to decrease. Energy therapies are being successfully used with war survivors and victims of extreme trauma.

Who is it for?

As well as looking at problem areas, psychotherapy is useful for personal growth; for re-evaluation of a current situation; to reconsider and remember goals, dreams and desires; for a kind of ‘life review’.
This can lead to a new sense of purpose and meaning.
I have worked with actors, writers, sculptors; with priests, psychiatrists, lawyers, teachers, social workers.
I also offer Supervision.
The therapeutic process is confidential and respectful of ethnic origin, gender, age and sexual orientation. I abide by the Code of Ethics of UKCP and AAMET.
