About Me

I understand that making the decision to speak to someone about our problems can be daunting. My approach to therapy is compassionate, respectful and empathic. You could come and see me for one session and use the experience to help decide if you would like to begin therapy or I would be happy to have an informal chat over the phone or by e-mail to help you make a decision.

I work with individuals, couples and groups and I have a therapy room in my home in Hutton Cranswick. This ensures discretion and confidentiality for you. I believe I can help people with ranging difficulties; you may not be able to express them in words but feel dissatisfaction in one or several areas of your life.

I have particular understanding of working with people who have experienced childhood trauma,

Qualifications

I have worked with people experiencing different types of emotional difficulties for 12 years both in the NHS and in private practice. My background is as a Social worker specialising in people experiencing Mental Health difficulties. I began my psychotherapy training in 2007 studying Transactional Analysis which is a model with the ethos everyone is equal and everyone has the capacity to change which I truly believe.

I am a member of United Kingdom Association for Transactional Analysis. I have regular supervision and undertake training to ensure my continuing professional development.
