More detailed information

I hope this page will give you some insight into me and give you the confidence to invest in my help.

First, however, I would like to say thanks for taking the time to visit my site, I realise that every visitor comes for their own reasons.  Some come to find a person who can help them immediately with emotional pain and distress; others come looking for help, for friends and loved ones. Whatever your reasons, I hope you find something of help within my pages.  My site contains informative articles written by myself for people who are searching for help.

Supporting you

I work in a supportive, empathic, and nonjudgmental manner.  I aim to create a safe environment for you to explore your problems. I am bound by the ethical codes of practice given by the BACP. I am a UK registered therapist.  I see both couples and individuals and have practices in both Sudbury and Colchester, this can mean a lot of travel at times but I do aim to see people in both locations.  I try to offer a short notice appointment whenever possible.

During challenging times I also offer fast support directly online.

Research

We live in a world that changes fast, technology and researchers are constantly updating our understanding of biology, psychology, and environmental factors.  This means that ideas about what helps people and how problems are seen are constantly updated.  For me to be the best that I can be for you, I constantly keep abreast of intervention methods and changes in evidence.  Equally environmental changes can bring about changes in a person’s mental health and this is constantly under review through research and existing psychology information.
