About Me
I trained as a physiotherapist at Kings College Hospital, London, graduating with distinction in 1988. Having gained broad-based experience within the NHS I moved towards private practice in 1996, renting rooms in Harley Street and also working as Occupational Health Physiotherapist for the Metropolitan Police, based at New Scotland Yard.
I moved to Sheffield in 1998 and have continued to work as a physiotherapist in private practice, and also within HM Prison Service.
My psychotherapy training at Mindfields College began in 2003. I passed my theoretical examinations with distinction in 2007 and gained my practitioners certificate in 2008.
About a session
Physiotherapy
Sessions are 45 minutes and cost £40. I am recognised by all the major insurance companies including Westfield, BUPA and HSA. The first appointment will involve a discussion of around 20 minutes where we will try to establish the exact cause and nature of your problem. This will usually be followed by a physical examination and treatment. The total number of sessions required is usually between 1 and 6.

Psychotherapy
Sessions are an hour and cost £40. At the first appointment we will discuss any difficulties you are experiencing and agree goals for therapy, and a strategy for achieving them, before proceeding to treatment. All Human Givens therapists are taught to try to make a positive difference at the first session. Human Givens therapy is one of the brief therapies – the aim is to use as few a number of sessions as possible to achieve the goals agreed. Often only 2 or 3 appointments are necessary, although obviously sometimes therapy may take longer. This will be discussed after the initial assessment.
Please feel free to call for an informal chat prior to booking if you have any other queries or concerns. I can be contacted directly via my website - www.physiotherapysheffield.co.uk. Further information about the Human Givens approach and a list of conditions commonly treated is also available here.
