Psychotherapy, Analysis and Supervision
I am a Jungian Analyst/Analytical Psychologist and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, registered with the IAAP, BPC and UKCP. I have nearly thirty years' clinical experience as a therapist.
I offer psychotherapy, analysis and supervision to individuals in the Sussex/Surrey area. My consulting room is in Horsham in a quiet location on the edge of St. Leonard's Forest .
I see therapy as a process in which together we seek to create a relationship in which all manner of troubling questions about the mind, body and soul can be explored in a spirit of curiosity, openness and honesty.
I recognise that the difficulties which bring people into therapy are often the tip of the iceberg with deeper underlying factors requiring exploration and understanding in the context of a secure and confidential therapeutic relationship.
I have a long standing interest in the work of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who had a profound respect for the individual and the wisdom buried in the individual’s own psyche. My interest dates back to 1995 when, in mid-life, at a time of personal crisis, I looked for a therapist and found myself with a Jungian Analyst. Like Jung, I believe that crises are a calling for psychological development.
I have completed three accredited professional trainings in depth psychology (psychodynamic, psychoanalytic and Jungian) and I continue to engage in ongoing professional development through independent study, research, writing and specialist courses.
Most recently, my clinical work with ex boarders has led to a particular interest in the long term emotional and psychological impact of sending children away from home at an early age into the care of an institution in the belief that it will be the ‘making of them’. I am interested in the widespread implications of this practice individually, intergenerationally, culturally and politically, for all of society. I am interested in the experience of the partners and children of ex-boarders.
Alongside my clinical work, I have read extensively around this subject and in 2023 I attended the specialist training for therapists with Nick Duffell and Boarding School Survivors. I am now on the team of supervisors for the training. I have contributed a chapter to a new book, 'The Un-Making of Them: Clinical Reflections on Boarding School Syndrome', edited by Nick Duffell and published by Routledge in April 2025. The title of my paper is 'English Landscape: an archetypal perspective on the ex-boarder'.
Since 2022 I have been studying Jung's Red Book with the Circle of Analytical Psychology.
I particularly enjoy writing and three of my essays have now been published.
