About me and my therapy practice

I am an accredited counsellor & psychotherapist, a qualified EMDR therapist and a certified TRE® provider. I draw on my extensive training to offer a bespoke therapeutic service tailored to each client's specific needs and wishes. 

 

Many years of experience training student counsellors has enhanced my own clinical practice, and enriched the therapeutic relationship I build with my clients. 

 

I balance my professionalism with a warm relational approach to therapy in a discreet and welcoming setting.

Practice description

My consultation room is in the centre of Barnstaple, North Devon, from where I offer a range of therapeutic services in a professional and welcoming setting. I have experience working with a wide range of common life events, as well as with more complex mental health problems.

I also offer online counselling and EMDR using Zoom. During the Covid 19 pandemic, and in line with current guidance, I am working remotely using Zoom. Working online can feel different from being in the same room, but it can nevertheless be an extremely effective form of therapy.

The BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy) and the EMDR UK & Ireland Association have offered guidance and recommendations about working online, which I take account of to ensure my practice remains highly professional.

About me and my therapy practice

A developmental model of supervision recognises supervisees will have differing needs. As an experienced trainer of counselling students, I have a good understanding of and insight into the particular supervisory needs of trainee counsellors. I also enjoy working with experienced practitioners.
