My approach is integrative. For short term work I am likely to draw on personal construct psychology, exploring how we make meaning in our lives. Longer term work is likely to take a more psychodynamic approach, where we explore unconscious processes that affect us and how we defend against these affects. We consider how early relationships reveal themselves in the way we relate to each other. As your counsellor, that’s some of what I will be thinking about as I listen to you.

What you will experience is an empathic listener, gently encouraging you to put words to your thoughts and feelings in the security of a confidential, boundaried, therapeutic relationship.

Within counselling I have particular interests in relationships in all their expressions, workplace stress and helping people towards confidence and empowerment.

I accept card and app payments, bank transfers and cash.

I have very limited availability at this location. However I have more availability at 61a Mayfield Road. Please refer to my other listing for details.

My supervision style follows the Hawkins & Shohet approach as set out in "Supervision in the Helping Professions" (2012). Also known as the "Seven eyed approach", the work between supervisee and their client is brought to supervision and examined in the contexts of each person and each relationship, including that of, and between, the supervisor and supervisee.

As a practising counsellor with 16 years of experience in integrative and psychodynamic approaches, I additionally offer supervision to those who seek to develop their work as integrative and psychodynamic counsellors, using the language and practices of these approaches.

I completed all supervisor training modules provided by CSTD London in 2019 and have completed the required number of practice hours and have their Certificate in Supervision.

Just as a therapist will be alert to what's going on between them and their client, so does a supervisor be alert to what's going on between them and their supervisee.

Supervision with me means exploring what might be going on in the supervisory relationship that in turn informs the supervisee's therapeutic relationships. Unless there are ethical issues, I take the view that therapists don't make errors of judgement so much as create opportunities to explore consequences of their actions with their clients. I believe it's important that a supervisee can bring anything to supervision without fear of shame or judgement. And to feel empowered to make their own decisions and come to their own conclusions rather than a supervisor telling them what and what not to do.

Availability Weds/Thursday mornings. Other days and times also possible.
