There are many reasons for seeking a psychotherapist including depression, trauma, inner conflict, low self-esteem, relationship problems and challenges at work. Perhaps you feel you need to find more meaning and purpose in your life, or perhaps your responsibilities overwhelm you. As a therapist, my role is to listen and accept you as you are.
I can attest and support you through your difficulties and together we can talk it through. You will know that what you say is shared in a safe space and is held in complete confidence. I provide EMDR therapy for the treatment of traumatic memories. This technique relieves distress and 'remaps' negatives thoughts and beliefs we have about ourselves.

I am a fully qualified Jungian Analyst, having completed my training with the Guild of Analytical Psychologists (GAP). This in-depth analytical psychotherapy training typically takes 7-8 years or longer in the UK. I am under regular supervision by a senior analytical psychotherapist who is also a member of GAP.
Psychotherapy training is a minimum of five years of academic study combined with client work and compulsory personal therapy. When a psychotherapist qualifies he or she will have been trained to Masters level, will have been in weekly personal therapy for five to six years and logged at least 450 hours of supervised client work.

Things were getting to the stage in my life where anxieties over my job, coupled with some long-standing family issues, meant that I was regularly feeling depressed and unable to cope. Having initially sought help from my GP, I was advised to consider therapy, and my search for something I felt I could relate to and benefit from led me to Gail's website and my first session with her.
I work from my home on Silverdale Road, Earley, Reading, Berkshire and online. You can find me using Google Maps with this link.
