Interests

In addition to general psychotherapy I have a particular interest in developing awareness of the impact of loss (grief), the emotional, physical and cultural responses to the pain of loss (bereavement) and the process of readjustment to ones life with the loss (mourning). Also to encourage insight with the aim of addressing life’s dissatisfactions and working towards improving the quality of life.
