Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, and Clinical Supervisor, in Lincoln
Welcome to my website. I offer counselling, and psychotherapy to individuals, aged 18 years, and above, on an open-ended basis, or for an agreed number of sessions in Lincoln.
I am UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) accredited and registered, with over 25 years post-qualifying experience, having worked within the NHS, private practice, the corporate sector, and for a number of psychotherapy and counselling services. I am also a UKCP registered clinical supervisor, for both group and individual psychotherapists.
Dual trained (Guild of Psychotherapists and University of London) to work with individuals and groups, I have a DBS enhanced certificate, issued in July 2023 and renewed in July 2024. I am a member of the Universities Psychotherapy and Counselling Association, the Neuropsychoanalysis Association, and the College of Psychoanalysts.
One-to-one counselling and psychotherapy
My clients come into counselling or psychotherapy for a variety of reasons, including: depression; emotional problems; relationship difficulties and breakdown; family problems and conflicts; abuse or neglect during childhood; anxiety and/or stress; loss and bereavement; work-related problems; child sexual abuse; Post Traumatic Stress; eating disorders; self esteem; and personality problems.
Not everyone knows what is bothering them, however. It is possible to feel confused and unhappy without being clear why. You might be struggling to make sense of an experience, or who you feel you are, for example, or perhaps you feel your life lacks meaning.
I usually see clients in my consulting rooms in Lincoln, but I also offer online appointments (via Skype, Facetime, and Zoom) to those who are unable, for a variety of reasons - including time constraints, mobility issues , and location - to attend face-to-face appointments. It is important to make sure you have a secure internet connection for online sessions.
Fees
I have a set fee of £50 for the initial appointment (which lasts up to 75 mins) and a sliding scale of fees (£50 - £70) for ongoing sessions. My clients choose their own fee from within that scale. For further details, please see the Taking the Next Step page.
Clinical supervision
I am a UKCP and UPCA clinical supervisor for other psychotherapists, working with either groups, or individuals. I offer face to face appointments to practitioners living in and around Lincoln, and online appointments to those living further afield. (Please see more information about my work as a clinical supervisor on the My Approach page. My supervision fees are listed at the bottom of the Taking the Next Step page)
