I am a qualified Person-Centred Psychotherapist practicing in rural South Warwickshire.  This means that the nature of how I practice is non-directive.  I believe that most of us has repressed some trauma from our earlier years that at certain times of strain in later life will seek to come to the surface, causing clients anxiety and/or depression.  It can be hard to talk about issues that we have spent so long trying to hide from others and ourselves.  Being honest and finding the language to communicate our deepest feelings can be challenging.  I hope that I can offer an empathic and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship to help process difficult emotions in order to move towards the light.I am particularly interested in helping women in mid-life as this demographic seems to be struggling more than ever to find balance and meet the needs of dependent children, parents and society at large, at a time when hormonal upheaval is creating its own demands on a woman's body.  I have worked for sometime with the Family Intervention Counselling Service, counselling survivors of domestic abuse, and with the charity Age UK where I have learned much of the plight of older clients in today's society.
