I am an experienced psychotherapist of 20 years, including the NHS, emergency services, universities, and private practice, employment assistance programs, providing training and specializing in grief, bereavement, early childhood trauma and those moving through difficult transitions in life. I work with individuals, couples and groups.I work with the navigation and complexity around identity and belonging, and life transitions to integrate those neglected parts of ourselves into awareness of choice, expression and growth. Therapy is a way to re-discover and develop new pathways which are less compromised by past patterns and traumatic incidences. Sometimes, we might experience early in our lives, an attachment issue with one or both parents. This may have involved neglect, abuse, or absence. This can predispose vulnerabilities throughout our lifespan. Therapy helps us gain tools to manage crises, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and resilience to help us find validation, and a sense of agency and resilience.I empower people to find solutions to their personal situations and challenges on their journey through life, and to undergo positive life transformations. I support them through difficult stages in their lives such as divorce and separation, loss and bereavement, midlife crises, identity and belonging, and early childhood trauma. Areas I cover include:Issues of difference: 'Belonging & Identity' & traumaBereavement and loss, and transgenerational traumaAbsent fathers: The effects of abandonment, neglect and intimacy.Life transitions- Re-focusing your life, creating new opportunities.
