My core training is in psycho-dynamic/psycho-analytic psychotherapy. I also have training in other models - Transactional Analysis, Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gestalt and Mindfulness. I have a specialist interest in trauma, anxiety and depression; and issues surrounding infertility, pregnancy and childbirth; older age.

As part of the initial consultation I will consider which approach might best suit your needs.

My experience is in the following areas:

poor self esteem
stress at work
addictions
bereavement and loss
anger management
lacking confidence
anxiety
depression
sleep problems

identity issues
trauma
abuse and unhappiness in childhood
loneliness and isolation
domestic violence
later life and old age issues
problems arising from ill health / disability
difficulties in relationships and sustaining them

gay and lesbian issues
sexual assault
ethnic issues
panic attacks
abuse
dementia
issues arising from infertility
pregnancy and childbirth issues

postnatal depression
adoption
psychosexual difficulties
body dysmorphia
binge drinking
alcoholism
drug dependence
Jewish issues

I believe that for the success of therapeutic work, trust and security with the therapist need to develop; it may take several sessions for the relationship to build. Some people feel a relief from emotional distress after just one meeting.
The length of therapy is determined together; I offer short and open-ended / long term individual counselling and psychotherapy. This usually takes place weekly, and sometimes twice weekly. My approach is to work in partnership with my clients to develop insight and to bring about desired change in relationships and circumstances towards greater happiness and peace of mind. My work is always non-judgemental, non discriminatory, and I do not offer advice.
