I will be unavailable from 2/4/2024 until 15/4/2024

I am a an accredited counsellor working in private practice offering short and long-term therapy to individuals and couples, using an integrative model of counselling. I aim to create a warm, safe environment in which clients can develop a relationship of trust, exploring difficult issues at a pace that is appropriate for them. 

I am also a supervisor offering one to one supervision for qualified and trainee supervisees. 

I work with clients Face to Face, via video and telephone, offering sessions on a weekly basis, fortnightly or monthly.  My main focus is to create a safe place, where the client feels able to talk about those issues that are causing distress. The Counselling model I use integrates aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, transpersonal therapy, internal family systems therapy, and trauma-informed practice, promoting somatic awareness and techniques. I have various creative tools that can be used during sessions, if the client chooses to do so. I utilise psycho-education to aid clients' understanding of their issues and encourage clients to do specific homework tasks between sessions to maximise effectiveness of sessions, however, this is at the client's pace. The frequency and length of therapy is flexible, for example, becoming less frequent if the client is coping better. Please contact me if you require any additional information.

Following an initial questionnaire, via email, I arrange the first session, where I complete an assessment. This involves asking the client about the specific issues they are struggling with and background information about their family / social situation. However, it is the client's decision as to what information they feel comfortable sharing at any point during the therapy.

I work with the client (s) to identify the goals of therapy and the possible length and depth of sessions. For example, a client struggling with anxiety may only want short-term counselling to find strategies of coping, or they may choose to continue with longer-term counselling, to determine underlying root causes of their anxiety.

I am an accredited integrative counsellor with 16 years experience, offering supervision to qualified counsellors and counsellors in training. I offer supervision Face to Face, or on-line, dependent on the supervisees practice and requirements. Please contact me for an initial discussion or meeting to determine feasibility of working together.

Following an initial meeting to determine the working relationship and compatibility, I discuss the supervision agreement with the supervisee and ask them to give details of their working environment and client work. For each supervision session, I ask the supervisee to prepare prior to meeting, determining the focus, and goals of the session, and I encourage exploration of client work in a curious manner, with the aim of not only enhancing understanding and practice, but also self-care of the practitioner.

I work with both experienced counsellors and trainees, offering monthly or fortnightly sessions, and adapting the support according to the level of training/ experience.

I offer a free initial meeting, Face to Face or via video, to determine if the supervisee and I feel able to work together. This may be influenced by personality as well as the compatibility of counselling models.
