Since the Covid outbreak, I have continued to  remain vigilant and  aware of safety  issues , so will continue to offer Hand Sanitiser, in order to keep my clients as safe as possible. 

I will be available for;

Telephone  Counselling Sessions 

This can be used for one off single,  or ongoing sessions 

I have more than  25 years experience in Counselling and Psychotherapy. 

I have my own Private Practice

I have worked  as School Counsellor and also a  Therapist within GP's surgeries.

I have worked in a Family Centre as Counsellor Psychotherapist for  16 years, working with children from 5 years to adults of all ages

I have had many years experience visiting and  working with families all over the Borough of Sefton in my role as a

 Parenting Officer within Sefton Youth Offending Team.

I  am happy to work  with single, couples, youths , children and families.

I strive to make sure that my clients are made to feel comfortable welcome and in safe hands.

I understand how daunting it can feel for some people to take the first step and share personal details with someone they don't yet know.

I get lots of positive feedback from clients who are very grateful to quickly feel relaxed and at ease, sharing their stories, in my private therapy room.

I will always strive to make each experience  warm , positive and  enlightening. 

I am qualified  Mindfulness Coach , so use relaxation techniques,  which I can offer in sessions where appropriate .

My therapy room is a safe and comfortable space, in which to share and interact in total privacy , somewhere where client and counsellor can join together and build a  therapeutic relationship.

I really enjoy working with my clients and feel privileged to accompany  and support them on their journey

I have a bright , welcoming Therapy room  at my home .

This is a comfortable, private space,  really ‘safe ‘.

First sessions can be daunting for first time clients , however I take steps ensure  clients are quickly put at ease .

I offer tea , coffee or water as I know how comforting it Is for myself , to be welcomed anywhere in this way.

I share with my clients a contract , outlining data protection and health safety issues.

I then invite my clients to share any concerns or worries they may have and to start at their beginning.

Clients are encouraged to progress at their own pace ,a pace which feels most  comfortable for themselves .

This is an opportunity to gain the trust of the client and to build a comfortable client counsellor working relationship, whilst maintaining a respectful ,professional position.

I usually offer clients session times  Monday to Wednesday as choose  to work part time basis. 

However I will always try  to accommodate where possible.

I work from  a Therapy room, which is a private, comfortable, safe space and is totally separate from my home. , I offer online (Zoom or WhatsApp)  or telephone sessions.

 I really enjoy Supervision session, either as Supervisor or as supervisee.

I always look forward to my own personal Supervision  and find this to be really beneficial  ongoing learning.

First session is a chance to become acquainted and to see if we are able to build  a successful, interactive working relationship .

It’s a time to discuss  best way forward covering requirements and needs  and begin an enjoyable journey together

A contract  will be talked through and then signed by both client and Supervisor .
