About me and my therapy practice
I am an accredited counsellor offering short- and longer-term counselling for individuals. I also offer small group and individual experiences within the broad themes and therapeutic depths of mindfulness and creative writing.
I offer therapeutic supervision for counsellors and those in the helping professions. I am in training (via The Karuna Institutes 'Mindfulness based, Core Process, Contemplative Supervision' offering). Once accredited I can also work as supervisor with trainees within counselling and helping professions.
I work with private clients on Mondays and Fridays from The Centre for Whole Health, 12 Victoria Place, Bedminster, Bristol, BS3 3BP.
For also work Tuesdays-Thursdays as a therapeutic counsellor for students at Bristol University (and as such cannot offer counselling to students of that institution)
The way I work:
I offer an integrative blend of counselling designed to best suit you. It maybe you sense you need a one-off encounter, a short series of sessions to address a particular issue or goal or a longer explorative counselling experience. The choice is yours to make.
I offer a counselling relationship that encourages interactive discussion, wisdom sharing and experiencing that is centred around you.
My personal contemplative, creative writing and meditative practices and my desire to live authentically and lightly upon this earth enhances my ability to be open, genuine and present within life and within any counselling relationship.
Costs
I charge £40-£60 per 50 minute session for counselling and £50 per hour for contemplative supervision (this will rise to £60 once accredited).
What refreshes me?
I love to meditate and also to write poetry and journal. I sing in a beautiful choir and enjoy watching football, being alone and being with family and with friends and being in a city of friends yet met.
Practice description
The practice centre rooms are all on the ground floor. On the second floor is a fairly traded honesty cafe and meditation hall and the third floor houses The Lam Rim Buddhist offering.
I am also a voluntary director of the centre.
My first session
After a free half hour chat about whether we could be a good match, the first 50 min session aims to bring us gently towards an initial focus for our times together, alongside an aspiration of when we could review our journey together.

About me and my therapy practice
I am in the middle of training (via The Karuna Institute in Devon)
My approach to supervision is a blend of contemplative and mindful tending to our relationship. It draws upon the richness's offered by my current training (Mindfulness based, Core Process contemplative Supervision) and my previous experiences of offering supervision (for adult care social workers when I was a senior social work practitioner)
At present I have some supervision spaces .
