Sessions are Monday to Friday, daytime and evening

I am a qualified, registered and fully accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I provide professional and confidential counselling in a safe and supportive environment.

I am experienced in a broad range of issues (see below) and can offer either short term (up to 6 weeks) or longer term support.

I offer an initial 50 minute consultation session, which is free of charge and without obligation. During this session I will answer any questions or concerns, gain an understanding of your situation, and together we will look at how counselling could help you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a Professional Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling, which means I am able to draw from a range of approaches to suit the individual needs of each client.

I specialise in trauma and I am also a fully qualified EMDR therapist. I have additional specialist training in addiction and addictive behaviour.

In addition to running my own private practice, I have worked within the NHS and voluntary sectors. I also provide supervision, training and consultancy services.

As a member of BACP, I adhere to the highest ethical standards.

Please Note:  I have offices in Swindon Old Town (SN1) and in Calne town centre (SN11). Please state in your enquiry which location you would prefer. I also offer appointments via Zoom and Skype as well as by telephone.

I provide professional and confidential supervision in a safe and supportive environment. 

I offer individual and group supervision for therapists and other mental health/helping professionals. I also provide training and trauma consultancy services to corporate and public sector organisations and EAP's.

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Relational Supervision, which looks closely at the therapist/client relationship and the various other relationships and contexts involved in the client work. Where appropriate and with the supervisee's agreement, this can sometimes also involve deeper exploration of the supervisee's own personal process.

My original core training was in Humanistic and Integrative therapy and I have expanded my integration over the years to include IFS, Solution Focussed, CBT, Cognitive Analytic,  TFCBT, Body Work and Mindfulness approaches. I specialise in trauma and I am also a fully qualified EMDR Therapist. 

I have additional specialist training and experience in working with addiction and addictive behaviour. 

I offer both short and longer term supervision. 

I strive to bring to my supervision practice the qualities I have found so valuable in my own supervision over the years, including positive regard and respect, honest supportive constructive feedback, insight, a sound knowledge of therapeutic skills and of multiple modalities, creativity and personal validation as well as good humour along the way. 

My aim is to support you fully in your own style and approach to client work and to help guide and support you through the inevitable challenges of therapeutic practice, as well as with your ongoing development as a practitioner. 

Initial Session:  I offer an initial 50 minute consultation session, which is free of charge and without obligation.

We will also discuss any supervision needs or expectations that are important to you and together, we will look at how we could work effectively and collaboratively to support your work.
