About me and my therapy practice
Sometimes life gets a bit too much. Maybe something happened recently or a long time ago that brings lots of feelings and you see no obvious way through. Or perhaps you have a growing sense of anxiety or depression with or without an understandable reason. Maybe you find yourself doing the same things again and again, that don't serve you and wonder why? I believe that each and every one of us has the key to work through those things and sometimes we need some help. Counselling can be that help. My aim is to create a safe space where clients feel able to voice their thoughts, feelings, concerns and anxieties. What makes it safe is a defined space for you to focus on you, a commitment from me to listen without imposing judgement, and to be genuine. A confidential space separate from friends and family where you can explore the things that are important to you at your own pace.What I can help with

About me and my therapy practice
I am a counsellor rooted in the person centered tradition, but since training, this has expanded to embrace ideas from gestalt and existential therapies, trauma informed modalities as well as energy psychology and spiritual ideas.
I have experience of working with young people in school and in private practice. I have worked for EAP providers, voluntary organsisations and in private practice.
My underpinning theory for supervision is Shohet’s 7 eyed model. believe in and am committed to supervision as a restorative and growthful process. My hope is for practitioners to find a safe enough place within supervision with me, that they are able to bring the difficult things, reflect and embrace challenge. AS practitioners, our greatest asset is our self, so it is my aim to pay attention to you as a practitioner, to what you might need in sessions so that in turn, you are most fully resourced to engage with your clients to your greatest potential.
