Welcome
I offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples.
My private practice is based in Lichfield (Mondays and Wednesday afternoon) and in Nottingham (Fridays). The cost for individual therapy is £45 per session of 50 minutes.
I have no evening (after 5) appointments at this time
In addition to working as a psychotherapist I also deliver Continuing Personal Development workshops for health professionals; work as a Wellbeing Support Worker for university students (Derby); and I am a Lecturer in Psychotherapy on the MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy programme at Birmingham City University
I now have therapy rooms for rent in Nottingham. I would like to encourage trainees in particular to consider the special rates and availability at this location.

Psychotherapy is the provision by qualified practitioners of a formal and professional relationship within which patients/clients can explore difficult, and often painful, emotions and experiences.
These may include feelings of anxiety, depression, trauma, or perhaps what is perceived as the loss of meaning of one's life. It is a process which seeks to help the person concerned gain an increased capacity for choice, through which the individual becomes more autonomous and self-determined.
Elsewhere on this site you will read of my approach. There are many approaches to therapy. How will you know which is right for you? For me it was a matter of comfortableness and safety with my therapist. This I discovered through meeting my therapist.
I will check with you what your expectations and fears are around therapy. If I am not the therapist for you I am happy to recommend others, and alternative approaches for you.
In therapy it is you that is important.
Talking Therapies: This is a booklet published by the Department of Health.
