About
I am an ITA registered Certified Transactional Analyst and UKCP registered humanistic psychotherapist based in Skipton and within easy reach of Harrogate, Ilkley, Otley, Leeds, East Lancashire and the Southern Lakes. I have been working in private practice for 12 years with individuals, couples and groups.
It was whilst working as a social worker in the field of mental health that I first developed my interest in working with individual psychology. Twenty years later I remain passionate about understanding what makes us tick and how creatively we manage the vicissitudes of life.
Although I am trained in Transactional Analysis, I have a particular interest in the developing field of neuroscience and its impact on relationship based psychotherapy. This blend of training – cognitive, ‘practical’ psychology alongside the intersubjective and relational – means that I am able to draw on quite different skills and knowledge sets in order to work with differing presentations, issues and processes.
I am a member of several professional study groups, attend regular supervision and keep up to date with current practice through continued professional development.
I live in a tiny village in the Yorkshire Dales where I like to read, write and watch the world go by.
