I am a firm believer that matching the right therapy delivered by the right therapist to an individual is the key to therapeutic success. I now deliver all my counselling and therapy by the following methods: - Video conferencing - Telephone sessions - Real-time online chat - Email I work with all psychological and emotional problems including: - Depression - Anxiety - Posttraumatic Stress Disorder - Phobias - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Autism Spectrum Disorders - Personality Disorders - Relationship problems - Low Self-Esteem - Lack of assertiveness - Career choices - Survivors of narcissistic parents - Domestic abuse - Substance abuse I am aware that working remotely with a counsellor is something that few people have experienced. For that reason, I offer an initial free session in order that you can decide whether this is right for you, and I can determine whether I can help. Your first session can usually be arranged within days. I offer a sliding scale of fees based upon clients' means.

I began my career as a practicing therapist in 1978 whilst conducting my doctoral research. I have worked with more than 2,000 clients and supervised more than 100 therapists over a 35-year career.

Making the decision to work with a psychological counsellor is one of the most courageous things a person can do. I have nothing but complete respect for anyone who makes that choice. Accepting that you are experiencing difficulties and reaching out to a professional who can help you overcome these difficulties is a life-affirming act that commands my total respect.

One size does not fit all, and one therapist, using one approach, does not work for everybody. I passionately believe that the key to therapeutic success is matching the right therapist to an individual with a specific problem.
