Now working online via Skype/WhatsApp/Facetime or telephone. 

I work to see change. The first session is to find out what's happening and what you would like to be different. I had 5 years of training and then 12+ years of good experience in seeing clients in London. As a therapist my aim is to help you find within yourself your ability to live life and feel good about yourself.  I see clients on a short or long term basis to work together to create changes.

As a counsellor I have worked in private practise for over 12 years and I have seen thousands of clients. I currently have rooms in Kings Lynn and in London The City EC3A where I see clients. I also work as a supervisor for the One to One Project in Kings Lynn.

As part of my training I worked in a GP surgery, a bereavement agency and then 5 years I helped men at the Everyman Project to change their anger, violent or abusive behaviour. I was a supervisor for Turning Point which is a national health care social care provider. I Supervised counsellors who work with clients in the Residential detox I also worked for Bupa Psychological as a Trauma Incident Manager offering on site support to large companies.

As a Supervisor I work with The 7 Eyed Model (developed by Hawkins and Shohet) The model is relational because it focuses on the relationships between client, therapist and supervisor and systemic because it focuses on the interplay between each relationship and their context within the wider system. The model is called “seven eyed” because it focuses on seven distinct aspects of the therapeutic process, as explained in the sections that follow. It’s important for supervisees simply to be aware of each of the “eyes” of the model, rather than learning each by rote.

I am an accredited member of the BACP and work within their ethical framework which I believe is important when you may bring ethical dilemmas. The "BACP believes that supervision can positively contribute to the maintenance and development of ethical professional practice".

Supervisee say to me that from the supervision they feel a release and have a clear mind and they also are then feeling energised to go back to their clients. The relationship is key for us working together.
