Our Approach
We play an active part during sessions; we intervene, we reflect, we share theories and perspective, we ask questions and explore ideas. Our way of working is relational, meaning it’s collaborative and dynamic.
We draw upon many different therapeutic approaches, including EMDR psychodynamic, behavioural, gestalt, systemic, and other humanistic and client-centred philosophies. This blended approach ensures we can address situations in a wholesome way.

Prior to running my successful Private Practice, I worked with the Priory Group from 2009, appointed Addiction Programme Manager in 2014 and was a leading figure in the Priory addictions community and guided the success of the Priory Hospital Woking addictions programme until handing over this role in November 2020. I continue to support Priory offering therapy at their Woking site and online through Priory Connect. I am also a member of the team at Portobello Behavioural Health.
