A Bit About Therapy

Personalized Attention for All Your Needs

I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and therapist alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

I am a Chartered Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years of experience of working in the NHS. In over 60,000 sessions I have worked with the full range of human problems and causes of distress. I hope that you will find that I am a kind, caring person who has the skills and experience to help you overcome your difficulties and become happier and more fulfilled in your life.

I take a theoretical eclectic approach integrating aspects of Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My many years of experience help me to employ the most effective form of treatment for each person utilising a full range of therapeutic skills and techniques.

My therapeutic process is flexible to meet the needs of each particular client. I may typically see a person fortnightly to start with moving to monthly sessions as the person makes progress. Maintaining progress is very important and I offer "Top-up" sessions as necessary.

I am able to hold therapy sessions at your home or other situation where you feel comfortable. If you are outside of the West Midlands area we may be able to arrange Skype, phone or online therapy.
