New Practice Developments: 

The way I now work is that I offer clients the option of 6-12 weeks of weekly therapy sessions, where we work solidly towards realising identified goals. Half way through the process there is a review to see what progress is being made; redefining and/or refining goals, to move forward again. There is also the option of fortnightly sessions for the 6 week bout of therapy, to help spread the cost for those in financial hardship. When the course of therapy is complete, clients can choose to book more sessions on a 4 weekly basis to help further consolidate and keep on track of the life changes made.

The fee for therapy is £65 per session, to be paid the evening before or the morning of the session. Fees can also be paid in full upfront for the total course of therapy.

If the way I work works for you, we can have an initial telephone conversation where you get to find out a bit more about me and my practice and I get some routine information about you. 

I have a huge belief in the transformative power of creativity and learning & growing through the sharing of experiences. I am a lover of life who is passionate about mental health and well-being and raising awareness around it and the life-shaping impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences. 

I am an accredited counsellor with over 37 years counselling experience working with people struggling with all types of problem behaviours, experiences of loss, grief, traumas and challenging life events.

Whatever the presenting problem, or walks of life, I am a therapist who is passionate about life and love and helping others find their way back to who they truly are at the core, and live that unique life-expression to potential, a potential that oftentimes gets lost in the struggle.

Within the safe, empathetic and non-judgmental space of the counseling session and the relationship with me your Counsellor, you will be supported to talk more freely about the particular concerns that weigh heavily on you. You will also be ‘held,’ in the therapeutic sense, as you identify, explore, and express difficult and conflicting feelings.

During counseling, you will gain greater insight into your particular life and relationship patterns, and in doing so gain greater self-awareness and capacity for self-compassion. Additionally, you will be further supported as you find and try out more self-soothing, dream-realising and life-affirming ways of living, being and coping. I also work Psycho-Spiritually.

The Psychological aspect of work as a Counsellor focuses more on what has gone wrong, how we have been wounded in our relations with others, and how to go about addressing that.

The Spiritual dimension of my work as a Counsellor & Inspiration Coach focuses more on what is intrinsically right and how we have infinite resources at the core of our nature that we can cultivate in order to live more expansively & simply.

The Psychological work thins the cloud, Spiritual work invokes the sun. I provide a brief (lasting no longer than 20 minutes) initial telephone consultation free of charge.

I am also a published author of two books, Back to love and Inner life writes: a manifesto for re-connecting to love, re-newing your mind and radiating your light. 

Limited supervision slots available.

Our last mistake is our greatest teacher.

You will learn how to work well with 'risk,' with 'stuckness,' with 'boundaries,' with 'transference & counter transference. You will be supported to help keep the sessions with your clients focused, creating positive treatment outcomes.

You will learn about the importance of self-care as a counseling practitioner.
