About me and my therapy practice
I am a registered counsellor with over 10 years experience who likes to encourage growth and development within an individual. To do this I focus on self-development and I seek to help individuals recognise their strengths, creativity and choices.
Exploration of difficult issues can be frightening so together we can explore them in a non judgmental way and facilitate change by encouragement and self awareness. I can assist individuals in making sense of confusing or overwhelming emotions, help them to develop resources to cope, gain a deeper understanding of self and how they may relate to others.
Along with the adult work, I also specialise in working with Young People from the age of 11 years with a view to building self esteem, development of abilities to cope with anxieties, bullying and peer pressure. I have a wealth of experience dealing with Young People who may be having suicidal thoughts, or may be undertaking some sort of self harm.

About me and my therapy practice
As a supervisor, I have experience of working with trainees and newly qualified counsellors, as well as with experienced and accredited practitioners. I have an Advanced Diploma in Supervision to a level 7 that is accredited with NCP.
Counselling can be a very demanding profession, practicing as a counsellor can drain your inner resources, consume your energies and raise questions that you need to explore. I offer clinical supervision to counsellors, psychotherapists and other helping professionals, such as social workers, support workers and community workers.
I work with young people myself and so therefore, offer supervision & experience for those therapists working with this client group. In addition, I have extensive experience of working both in private practice and in counselling organisations both as a counsellor and as a manager of a counselling service.
Please get in touch if you’d like to find out more about me and my supervisory practice.
Practice description
Initially I would suggest that we meet for 30 minutes (telephone or video) to see if we feel we are a good fit as supervisor and supervisee.
