About me and my therapy practice

I have 25 years experience as a counsellor working with adults, short and long term, in a variety of settings including primary and secondary health care (NHS), occupational health, private practice and IAPT (NHS). I have 20 years experience as a counselling supervisor working with trainees, experienced counsellors and allied health professionals in these same settings. I have also worked as a counselling tutor with diploma students and have set up and managed student placements in several organisations. As a supervisor I see my role as to facilitate your personal and professional development, to offer you a reflective space where we can explore anything relevant to enhancing your practice.

Practice description

Currently I am offering 1-1 sessions at flexible times across the week, by telephone or online/ video call only.

My first session

The first session will always include a discussion about the terms and conditions whereby supervision is being offered.
