Practice description
I offer professional and qualified counselling support from my garden therapy room based in South Leicestershire.
During or lives we are sometimes presented with news that is hard to take in and even harder to deal with. Receiving the news that you or a family member has a terminal illness or that your unborn baby or child is ill places our lives in complete turmoil.
Many of us have suffered loss of a loved one or colleague during the COVID pandemic and are now faced with the challenge of returning to the work place. This might be a tricky time, you may find it hard to adjust. I would offer you a listening ear as you face another hurdle to move forward to a new way of being following your loss.
At such a time as this it is difficult to talk to a relative or a friend and it is difficult to take in and understand all the medical information. You may feel the need to take time without pressure to think through what is happening to you and the important people around you.
By taking time to talk to me and share you fears, worries and concerns in a calm, non judgemental setting I will listen and walk alongside you and help you manage what is a difficult time.
I am passionate about working with people at difficult times in their lives and aim to offer support whilst you explore the sometimes life changing situation that you have been placed following your recent news.
My first session
I would offer an assessment appointment for us to explore what type of support is required.
The assessment can be either by telephone zoom or in person.

Practice description
To provide supervision and mentoring to trainee/student counsellors.
This last year has been particularly difficult for trainee/student counsellors as most of the courses have been completed on line. Now they face the challenge of finding a placement to complete their client hours. I would like to provide support for trainee/student counsellors as they start to undertake the journey of their placement work.
To support teachers dealing with loss or bereavement in the school or to support School staff with supervision and self care.
To provide other professionals dealing with loss and bereavement in a workplace setting either in a one to one setting or small groups.
To support Employers to deliver programmes of self care and well being to staff.
My first session
I offer an assessment prior to taking on a supervisee so that we can explore what is required from the supervision sessions.
I am able to attend in person or via zoom to offer supervision within the school environment or within the work place (subject to Government Guidance regarding COVID - 19).
