Whatever your difficulties, you will be met respectfully and with ethical confidentiality. The focused and sustained act of listening and talking together emotionally, without prejudice or judgment, may make a difference for the better.
I work with people aged 14 to 90 and beyond; individuals, couples and groups.
Following a careful, confidential and detailed consultation, I can offer brief or long-term work. I welcome an initial phone conversation or email before making an appointment and am well placed to refer on if appropriate or necessary.
I am familiar with working and engaging with anxiety, stress, depression, insomnia, panic attack, phobia, obsession, insecurity, and change; loss and bereavement; relationship and emotional difficulties and problems with self-expression; troubled, traumatized childhoods that spoil or disrupt present relationships; the underlying causes of addiction, and current entanglements caused by too much or too little emotion; gender and sexual issues; and desires, feelings and longings which threaten security.
There are two tasks for the first appointment:
- for you to tell me something of what you want, and what the difficulties are as you see them.
- for each of us to decide whether I might be able to help, and whether we can work together. If we decide to continue, we arrange times and fees.
Sessions are 50 minutes with individuals and 75 minutes with couples. I have preferred, but negotiable fees.
