Pragmatic, powerful and personalised therapy to meet your needs

Hello

I’m a psychotherapist, setting up a new practice in Epsom and retraining in the Human Givens approach.

While I work on the final part of my new qualification, I’m providing a number of non-chargeable hours. All you’ll need to pay is £15 for the cost of the therapy room, but nothing for the therapy itself.

I previously trained and worked in CBT and humanistic therapies, before working in the charity sector. For over 10 years, I helped people with long term conditions to get their voices heard.

I loved that work. Hearing people’s stories, helping them to come to terms with their diagnoses and seeing them flourish as their needs were met through the work we did together.

Learning about the Human Givens has been a series of “ah ha!” moments. Everything I’ve been taught has made sense of my personal and professional experiences of people and the problems they can experience in life.

It brings together all of the things that work in other therapies and philosophies, and grounds them in what we know about human needs and how the brain works.

If you’re experiencing low mood or stress, if you’re going through life changes that are affecting your mental health or if phobias are getting in the way of things - I can help you. A single click is all it takes.
