Expert Psychotherapy & Counselling in Derby
With over four decades of experience in human services, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through psychotherapy and counselling. Since qualifying as a field social worker in 1984 and registering with the UKCP in 2000, I have developed a practice rooted in Gestalt and person-centred psychotherapy, complemented by advanced training in trauma therapies such as EMDR, CRM, and DBR. My approach integrates psychodynamic principles and family systems therapy, informed by my studies with the Hellinger Institute and the Ridhwan School. I hold a Masters degree in Humanistic Person-Centred Psychotherapy and a Diploma in Clinical Supervision, ensuring rigorous adherence to ethical standards.My work focuses on fostering self-exploration and healing through compassionate therapeutic relationships, addressing complex trauma, transgenerational patterns, and personal growth. I have authored a book on integrative trauma therapy, reflecting my commitment to advancing therapeutic practices. My purpose-built therapy room in Derby offers a safe, accessible space for in-person sessions, alongside online support via Zoom, ensuring flexibility for clients.

Services
Psychotherapy
Long-term, in-depth psychotherapy addresses complex emotional and psychological challenges, including trauma, depression, and transgenerational patterns. This service is ideal for clients seeking profound self-exploration and lasting behavioural change. Sessions focus on fostering self-awareness, healing past wounds, and developing healthier relational dynamics through evidence-based modalities.
Trauma Therapy
Specialised trauma therapy utilises EMDR, CRM, and DBR techniques to resolve symptoms of post-traumatic stress and childhood abuse. This service targets deeply ingrained trauma responses, helping clients process and integrate distressing memories to reduce emotional distress and improve daily functioning.

Family systems therapy explores unconscious entanglements and inherited patterns affecting current well-being. By addressing systemic issues such as unresolved grief or family secrets, this service helps clients break cycles of dysfunction and cultivate healthier self-perception and relationships.
Couples Counselling
Couples counselling focuses on improving mutual understanding and resolving conflicts rooted in individual and shared histories. This service helps partners identify and address patterns from their family backgrounds that impact their relationship, fostering deeper connection and communication.

Clinical supervision provides professional guidance for therapists, focusing on ethical practice, case management, and personal development.
