I am a Relate trained practitioner with an MA in Relationship Therapy. I am a registered member of the BACP and abide by their code of ethics.
I am experienced in working with children, individuals, families and couples of all ages and backgrounds, helping them to improve the quality of their relationships. I consider this a privilege.
I am married with two grown up children. Before training as a therapist I worked with my husband in interior design and briefly as a garden designer. This was very intimate relational work, helping people with their personal spaces. It was important to understand their priorities, way of life, tastes and differences between partners’ preferences. I learned to be a good listener and to work together with the client to create something new.
In many ways this reflects my therapeutic work; a close collaboration to uncover hope and creative possibilities, at points in life when these might seem to be submerged in difficulties.
Taking the step to come to therapy can be a turning point in itself. I look forward to welcoming you in a safe and relaxed environment to work together on what is important to you.
