I am a UK trained, experienced psychodynamic therapist based in Dorchester, Dorset. I have built my experience over the years working in private practice and in mental health charity organisations in Dorset, Somerset and New Forest counties.
I had 6 years of core professional counselling training (4 in individual therapy at Wessex Counselling and Psychotherapy, in Somerset and 2 in couples counselling at Tavistock Relations, in London).
I am fully committed to Continued Professional Development (CPD) with regular participation in professional seminars, workshops and conferences. I have my work supervised on a regular basis, as is required for all practicing psychodynamic therapists.
