Professional supervision
Supervision is tailored to individual need and interest. I focus on attunement to what is arising within the therapy relationship and how to make use of the transference, count-transference, dreams and imagery that may arise.
Those wanting to deepen their understanding of process, to feel more confident in identifying and using transference and counter-transference or to work with imagery and dreams may find my approach very useful.”

I believe that psychological well being stems from understanding and accepting one’s own nature. From this flows a realistic understanding of what one may and may not change about oneself, others and the world. I work with dreams, images and whatever arises to help throw light on ways through current problems.”
