I am a qualified EMDR therapist and relationship counsellor and I offer confidential individual and couple counselling.

I am experienced in offering counselling using webcam, telephone and email as well as in person.

I support people to invest in themselves and upgrade their relationships so they can enjoy life.

Areas I can help you with are:

Anxiety and/or Depression
Relationship Coaching
Problems in your Relationships
Managing Separation and Divorce

I have been working using the full range of options below for many years, and find them straightforward, with really good feedback from my clients.

In person

I work from a comfortable clinic in Tynemouth on the North East coast of England.

Telephone

Most of us have easy access to a phone line and are used to speaking on the phone to friends, family and at work. Telephone counselling uses this familiarity and adds in the elements of confidentiality and making some space for ourselves that we get from attending a clinic. Some people prefer telephone counselling as they can make notes as they go along.

Webcam

Many people like to see the person they’re talking with, and webcam counselling offers us the opportunity to see each other as we speak. It’s easy and secure, and as with telephone counselling we add in the element of making sure we won’t be disturbed.

Email Counselling

Email counselling is a flexible way to get support without having to commit to a timed session or travel to a counselling centre. You can write a 500-750 word email to me about any issue that’s worrying you and I will support you to understand better the difficulties you’re experiencing and think about ways to change things.

Our first session will always be a full assessment and includes some time at the end to discuss options for therapy together.

Please contact me to discuss availability.

As a Clinical Supervisor I offer a collaborative environment in which we can focus on your current practice, professional wellbeing and development.

I supervise individual, trauma focussed and couple work.

I have additional training in offering telephone and online therapy (chat/email/video) and am happy to support therapists who work in this way with the slightly different requirements.

The current recommendation is that we carry out our supervision sessions in the same way as you offer therapy so please do check that you can attend in person at my address if you are working in person with clients. 

If you offer a mix of online and in person therapy we can negotiate a mix in our sessions.

I work using an integration of psychodynamic and systemic theory and practice, with individuals and couples. 

I am an accredited EMDR Practitioner and EMDR Consultant in training.

You can contact me via email or by phone to discuss availability. We would meet initially to establish whether we would like to work together and usually book in dates at this point.
