About me and my therapy practice

I am a humanistic, person-centred counsellor offering a warm and empathic environment to talk through any difficulties you are experiencing at the moment.

I offer confidential, non-judgemental counselling, which will give you the opportunity to be fully heard and understood.  Being able to make more sense of your experiences and feelings can help you to be able to find some relief from distress. This will then encourage you to make changes that will empower you to take more control over your life. 

I will work with you to explore your needs here and now and help you recognise any unhelpful patterns and beliefs you may hold about yourself.  In order to support this, I focus on a humanistic approach which aims to help you understand yourself better and strengthen beliefs and behaviours that will move you forward.  I will support you in developing healthier relationships with people who are significant to you.

I attend regular continuous professional development workshops and professional supervision.  I have recently qualified as a supervisor overseeing other counsellors' work.  I am a fully accredited member of BACP and abide by their code of ethics.

About me and my therapy practice

Originally I trained in Humanistic Counselling as a Person-Centred Counsellor but I have also completed some CBT and Short-Term Solution Focused Therapy training.  I am BACP-accredited, with over 20 years of experience in private practice and working with young people within a school and higher educational setting.  I trained with Redlands and have completed the CPCAB level 6 certificate in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision qualification.

I see supervision as an essential part of the counselling process and an ethical requirement by BACP Ethical Framework for the counselling professions. Supervision offers opportunities to reflect upon the work undertaken and provides you with the chance to work as effectively, safely, and ethically as possible.
