Biography

In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground – writes Douglas Adams. You will find an attuned, compassionate, therapeutic environment, where there is warmth, empathy, an active interest in your needs and strengths, as well as acceptance of, all of your experiences. I seek to provide containment for pain and distress that you may be going through so that you feel safe to open up and explore options for your complex life challenges.

 

I am a Cambridge-based, BACP- & COSRT-registered relationship therapist, couples/family counsellor & psychosexual therapist, initially trained as a psychologist in Budapest, and with 15 years of work experience in the UK.

 

For the past 15 years, I have worked within the Children and Families wing of Cambridgeshire County Council, for Cogwheel Trust Counselling Service and, with Atrium Clinic and Therapy Centre. This involves having worked therapeutically with families and individuals with complex needs, ranging from relational, most commonly trans-generational trauma, diagnosed mental health problems and neuro-developmental conditions (most of all adults living with Mild/High Functioning Autism Spectrum Condition as well as children, living with Moderate ASC), to the influence of domestic abuse and the impact of socio-economic inequalities.

 

Working for the past 3 years, as a Specialist Clinician at Cambridgeshire County Council Fostering and Adoption Services, I offer trauma-informed therapeutic support to foster carers, adoptive parents, Looked After Children and their schools, as part of the Clinical Team. Through clinical consultations with social workers, we promote neuroscience-informed, relational therapeutic work to support healing from developmental trauma.

 

For the past 6 years, I have also been working for Relationship Counselling East Anglia, formerly Relate Cambridge, as a Family and Couples Counsellor and, for the past 3 years, also as a Psychosexual Therapist.

 

I welcome people from all backgrounds, sexualities and types of relationship or no relationship, for both short-term and long-term, in person or online counselling and psychotherapy.

 
Types of Therapy Used

Drawing on a variety of Systemic and other therapeutic approaches (such as Compassion Focused, Cognitive Behavioural, Brief Solution Focused, Transactional Analysis, Neuorsequential Model of Therapeutics, Dyadic Developmental Practice) I facilitate thinking together, guided by your expectations and desired outcomes from therapy. By use of bio-psycho-social science of healing and emotional-mental well-being, we will foster coping skills, resilience and seek to bring about positive changes in your lived experience.
Issues Dealt With

Relationship matters are what currently brings most to my practice. People experiencing circular arguments with significant others, unhelpful patterns of interactions, loneliness, and disconnection, either in the presence of a partner or by themselves. This can include not feeling heard, lack of warmth and affection, sexual difficulties, and intimacy as well as the impact of affairs. Living scripts that resonate with those experienced in the environments that shaped us, can lead to repetition, attempts to correct or feeling stuck. In the area of psychosexual (non-organic sexual) difficulties, I mostly work with the following presentations: arousal and desire issues and differences causing distress; anxiety and perceived performance pressure manifesting in sexual function difficulties; absence of, whilst desire for reaching orgasm or difficulty postponing orgasm; genito-pelvic pain and/or spasm. PARENTING WORK: during my years of working for the Children and Families wing of the Local Authority, I trained in and delivered a variety of group based parenting programmes, such as Webster-Stratton/Incredible Years, Raising Children and Teen Triple P. Working in the Looked After Children's context, I have further trained in additional, trauma-informed, therapeutic parenting approaches, such as PACE and Foundations for Attachment which I regularly deliver.
