I am an existential psychotherapist, counsellor and supervisor registered in the United Kingdom (through
UKCP and BACP) and in Europe (through the EAP). I now work privately in Lewes, after 20 years in an NHS hospital where I ran
two specialised psychotherapy services - for cancer patients and their carers, and for post-Intensive Care patients.
My private work is general: I enjoy working with whatever issues you bring, while also bearing in mind your familial and broader
existential context.
I have a strong interest in the way
we carry, in our bodies, past traumas as well as the stresses of everyday life, and I integrate into my existential work understanding
derived from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy - a trauma therapy informed by the neuroscientific research of recent years. My systemic constellation training has
helped me to become more aware of the broader picture of a client’s life - in particular the traumas and relationship
patterns that can get carried down the generations within a family.
You can choose to come either for a few sessions over a period of weeks or months, or else
on a longer term basis.
