My professional experience has been in the NHS, the Third Sector (Charity) and Private Practice. This has included therapy groups and individual clients. I have run Personal Development (Experiential) Groups for counselling courses. I have run Staff Groups to help colleagues understand team dynamics and supervision groups.

I have worked with a wide variety of clients who have presented a range of problems that have caused them distress and anguish. Some of the people I have worked with have suffered with psychological distress because of traumatic family histories and relationships. Anxiety, depression and social isolation are all things that therapy can help with. I can offer both short term and long term therapy depending on what it is you want to talk about.

Therapy for Long-Term Health Conditions (LHC’s)

Feelings that are repressed by the mind can be experessed by the body. I work with clients who have long-term health problems like diabetes. With diabetes, 97% of the care clients need is self-care and I have a keen interest and experience in helping clients to improve self-management of both Type1 and Type2 diabetes. All Diabetics can experience difficulty in managing their condition and psychotherapy can help you understand why self-care and looking after yourself can be so difficult.

People with long-term health conditions sometimes also have levels of Anxiety and Depression that are not easily recognised. Anxiety and Depression combined with any long-term health condition is a serious problem that can increase the risk of ill health complications.

If you want to change your lifestyle to reduce the risk of diabetes developing, contact me.

I have a Masters degree in Group Psychotherapy. I am a member of the Institute of Group Analysis (Mem. Inst. G.A.). I am also a registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (U.K.C.P.) I abide by professional codes of conduct and ethics. I adhere to the statutory requirements around confidentiality.

Please contact me if you have any questions about therapy.
