About me and my therapy practice

I am a intergrative  BACP accredited therapist/supervisor.

I have worked within the NHS Mental Health Psychological Services for over eighteen years.  Both as a senior/specialist  counsellor and clinical supervisor.

I  have been in  private practice for twenty two years  which has  allowed me to work long term with clients , although not all clients wish to work long term.

I have extensive experence  working with sexual abuse and the issuse that may surround this . I also work with relationship difficulties , trauma ,anxiety, depression as well as many other issues.

Every client is unique, and I offer a safe and non judgemental and confidential space to explore any issues/thoughts  feelings and behaviours  that may be causing distress or anxiety in your life.  You may not be experencing  any difficulties but wish to explore and develop your self -awairenes and personal growth to achieve your fullest  potential  .

I wish you well on your Journey.

About me and my therapy practice

I work in a intergrative person centered model, I feel that supervision is a place whrere  respect honesty and knowledge can be given  and shared . I beleve that the relationship between supervisor and supervisee is as important as the relationship  is between  therapist and client .

I believe that  in supervision you can celebrate the good work that has been acheved with clients as well reflecting on any ethical, risk, transferance as well as the   "stuckness" we can all feel at times .
