Hello , thank you for considering my profile .You could simply call or text me on 07716432802 to chat about your needs or to check me out . I WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO THAT . BROUGH is conveniently located to cover most parts of East Yorks. , and HULL , and due to proximity to Humber Bridge many parts of North Lincs. (eg Barton , Brigg , Scunthorpe) are also within reach .

My work is primarily relational and humanistic .

My psychotherapeutic counselling work is supported by my previous mental health training and experience within the NHS , voluntary , charitable and private agencies . I worked for 4 years to May 2017 with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse - dissociative disorders , PTSD , Complex PTSD . I have worked with addictions since 1993. I have been working therapeutically since 1988 . I am a trained adult education tutor . I WORK WITH ANGER ISSUES IN A  RELATIONAL , EMPATHIC WAY  (Making distinction between ANGER and RAGE) I have awareness of SHAME , including Shame in counselling and counselling supervision.

Although I quote a standard fee I am prepared , in certain circumstances , to negotiate reduced fees -

If you are unwaged or low-waged (proof required)

ALSO REDUCTIONS FOR ADVANCE PAYMENT BLOCKS

I am trained in relational supervision with the Cambridge Relational Academy , although I was initially trained in clinical supervision and student mentorship as part of my Registered Mental nurse (RMN) training -1990 to 1993.

I am in private practice as a therapeutic counsellor .I work in a  relational , integrative , client-centred way .

I have previous experience in NHS mental health work , addictions work with voluntary agency (Alcohol & Drug Service , Hull) and work with adults (male and female) sexually abused as children , adult rape , domestic violence etc. - trainings in psychological trauma ,  PTSD , Complex PTSD , dissociative disorders etc.

I am happy to offer supervision to both qualified counsellors and students .

I am happy to talk about the extended remit of relational supervision .

Much emphasis is made of the role that supervision plays in safeguarding the client . I believe that the best way to safeguard the client is to safeguard the practitioner through encouraging greater insight in the practitioner . the emphasis being on the relationship -

supervisor - counsellor

counsellor - client

client - significant others

Problems do not exist in isolation (or reside in a specific individuals ) . Problems derive in relationship and can only be resolved in / through relationship .
