About me and my therapy practice

I am a Humanistic and Integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, with a background of working as a nurse and midwife for 25 years. My main approach is 'relational' which sees the therapeutic relationship as central to the therapy. Through this non judgemental relationship I aim to provide you with a safe space where you can explore your feelings, gain a greater understanding of and work through the issues you are facing, and so move on in your life. It may be that we look at what is happening for you in the present moment but often we will look at what has happened in the past, your patterns of behaving and relating and how they are affecting you today. I am currently based in Hillsborough, working at Wellspring Complementary Health Centre, but also have experience of working in an university counselling service and working as a counsellor in a G.P. setting.
