Jungian Analysis

Female

I am a Jungian psychotherapist based in Cambridge. I am a Member of the Guild of Analytical Psychology and Spirituality (GAPS) and UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) Registered Analytical Psychotherapist. I work mainly with individuals, and also with couples. Before that, as a family therapist and social worker, I worked with children, families, couples and individuals, in many therapeutic settings.

Having worked extensively in the business sphere, I also have a wide understanding of pressures relating to work-life balance, including the effects on other family members.

I work with a wide variety of people who have a range of issues and problems. Some have experienced deep trauma and feelings of desperation. Some may find themselves faced with an unexpected situation or difficult decision. Some are interested in developing a deeper understanding of their life journey.

People often contact me because they have a problem or issue, whether current or in the past, which they need help in resolving and understanding. I provide a quiet, safe space where a person can talk – and be listened to and heard.

As a Jungian Psychotherapist, I often invite a client to explore dreams and pictures with me. Doing so can indicate ways for a person to understand some of the deeper nature of individual experience – and find ways forward. As a result, a person may discover new creative energy and meaning in their life.

I hold a Diploma in Analytical Psychology from the Guild of Analytical Psychology and Spirituality (GAPS). My PhD from Brunel University, which focused on some applications of Jungian theory, also underpins my clinical practice. I originally trained as a social worker and undertook further training in family therapy and group analysis.
