Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, and Clinical Supervisor, in Lincoln
Welcome to my website. I offer counselling, and psychotherapy, to individuals, aged 18+, on an open-ended basis, or for an agreed number of sessions, in Lincoln.
I am an accredited psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and analytical group psychotherapist, who is UKCP and BACP registered, with over 30 years, post-qualifying experience, within the NHS, private practice, the corporate sector, and a variety of psychotherapy and counselling services. I am also a UKCP and UPCA registered clinical supervisor.
I have a DBS Enhanced Certificate, and I am a member of the Guild of Psychotherapists, the Universities Psychotherapy and Counselling Association, the Neuropsychoanalysis Association, the College of Psychoanalysts, BACP, and UK Council for Psychotherapists.
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 some online appointments (via 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 individuals, or groups. 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)
