About me and my therapy practice

I have worked with individuals, families and young people for over 30 years before embarking on this privileged profession. I have experience in running both group work and individual sessions with various client groups including, victims of domestic violence, family breakdown, substance dependency and abuse (both within the voluntary and statutory sectors).

My training in Humanistic counselling and background in family and youth work allows me to use both person focussed and systemic models to enable people to achieve their objectives in 1-1 therapy.

I use an integration of various theoretical perspectives and can 'bespoke' sessions collaboratively with my clients to enable them to achieve their objectives from therapy.

I offer warmth, empathy and a soft landing for difficult feelings to land. I work well with people that are motivated to travel towards a more fruitful and affective way of being that will in turn, I hope, be life affirming for them.

Practice description

I aim to walk alongside my clients and offer them a space to be that is confidential and non-judgemental. I can offer challenge and opportunities for more directive work. I am able to offer creative methods such as stone and sand work as well as work with Russian dolls and art.

I am able to work with disabilities and can accommodate those needing a hearing loop or wheel chair users.

There is ample spacious parking and access to public transport.

The first session is an assessment session and it is free of charge.
