Covid-19 (Coronavirus)*  my practice will be entirely online. Several options are available for sessions: Doxy.me, WhatsApp Video, FaceTime,  - or just regular phone calls.

Well done you for taking the first step.

I am a registered and accredited psychotherapist with over 12 years of experience - I am a Psychodynamic Counsellor which means we will focus on both past and present which may entail a longer-term therapy that seeks to get to the root of the problem rather than focus on the surface symptoms.

My approach to therapy is to create a safe place for you. Through our therapeutic relationship, we can then discover together how to work on your concerns, and for you to make sense of what is happening in your life.

I will not tell you what to do, the idea is that we go on the journey together, I will be walking by your side every step of the way

 The idea of therapy is to explore your thoughts and feeling that can be scary. I am aware that seeking help might not be easy. We all experience challenges and difficulties in life.

I provide short focused based sessions and long-term therapy

An initial appointment is offered as soon as possible after our first contact. During that meeting, we will discuss the issues that you believe are most important to you and assess how we might work together.

We can talk together first on the phone to see how we both feel about working together and what it is you are looking for

The session will be for 50 minutes. I offer appointments weekly, however the frequency is tailored to each individual and can be discussed in the initial consultation.

We will work together in order to find ways that will help you through your difficult time. 

I have been a registered member since 2009 and gained accreditation with the BACP adhering to current guidelines. I am currently working as an experienced EAP Organisations and EAP provider online telephone and video sessions using the Psychodynamic approach.  

I am available Mondays and Fridays 9-5

For the past 12 years, I have dedicated myself to the supervision of counsellors and psychotherapists across various modalities and areas. I have wide and varied experience in my online EAP client work, which I have found helpful in my supervisory role. My focus is always to keep my supervisee and their clients safe.

As a supervisor, I can understand the varying possible conflicts of interest that could arise when you are an affiliate counsellor working with online and EAP clients.

I can help you face the challenges of ensuring confidentiality is always maintained.

Working online you might find you have to manage a heavy caseload and this balance can be difficult, I can help you to build a balanced ‘internal supervisor’ and to assist with making decisions based on good practice.

I offer 1:1 on line telephone and video sessions. supervisory places are available, please feel free to contact me for more information

First sessions are always about assessing the work needing to be done and how we are going to work together.
