I completed my BACP counseling diploma in Psychosynthesis in 1994.
I qualified as a psychotherapist with the British Psychotherapy Foundation in 2013.
For the last six years I have been a seminar leader in Infant Observation for the British Psychotherapy Foundation.
I am the current Chair of Psychotherapy Sussex.
I have particular interest in Infant Development and how the early years attachment between Infant and caregivers affects us all throughout our lives. Understanding our early experiences of closeness and distance, of rupture and repair can enable you to take take greater charge of your life and live more hopefuly.
I work with dreams, symbols and active imagination. I believe in Jung's concept of the soul. That there may be moments in life when the soul's energy can become blocked. This leads us as individuals into personal crisis. We seek help when we have become estranged from our capacity for love, meaning and our need for deeper conection.
I address unconscious, sometimes hidden traumas that reside in the individual's daily life and thinking. I see these aspects of being as not yet integrated into the self, and in need of support towards self expression.
I am particularly interest in how particular patterns have been passed down through one's parents and grandparents; what is referred to today as transgenerational trauma. Where might you be unwittingly fulfilling one or other of your parent's own unfulfilled dreams, or unmourned losses? And how can we think about that in a way that might free up that energy in you. Inherited parental complexes are normal, seeing our parents fully, in the positive and negative is an important step of maturity.
My Fee.
My fee is £75 per session for therapy & analysis.
Sessions lasts 50 minutes in length. I charge for the initial session.
If you are unable to pay my full fee, we can discuss a sliding scale at the initial meeting.
I charge for missed sessions and holidays, but not when I am on holiday.
You may end therapy at any time. I do ask for four weeks notice to allow the ending to be worked toward and thought about.
