It takes courage to make the first steps towards seeking help. It may be you are experiencing loss, feeling alone or unsupported or you wish to look at relationship issues or the impact on you of other life events. 

Sometimes in life we can feel stuck and at a loss as to how to move forward. It can be really helpful to explore your situation in counselling .This can lead to understanding yourself and ultimately having more choices.

 My work has been  within the NHS and in a private setting since 2006 and I have experience working with  loss, depression, anxiety, bereavement , IVF, miscarriage, cancer, and other relationship and work difficulties. 

I have worked extensively with adults and young people in NHS/GP surgeries, and also  in a university setting and in Private Practice.

I  have been a tutor on a counselling degree programme and on counselling certificate training courses. I also offer clinical supervision for counsellors.

I am registered as a Counsellor/ Psychotherapist  with major health insurers.

I usually see people for either short term therapy or for open-ended counselling . I also can work online.

Counselling sessions last for 50 minutes and are usually at the same time and day every week. 

The first session is usually 60 minutes long as we need to explore together what has brought you to counselling now and to gather important information about your past and present . This then will help us work together should we decide to go ahead.  

I am a an Integrative therapist and supervisor and I supervise qualified counsellors and therapists and also trainees.

 My fundamental belief is that the relationship is crucial both in supervision and client work and I draw on Integrative theory and the Seven Eyed Model CSTD supervisory model to inform the way I work. My aim is to offer support for your work and to provide the space for you to feel able to bring your self and your client work in an ethical and growthful way.

I work as a supervisor in private practice and for organisations and training programmes .

We would usually meet fortnightly for a 50 minute session or online for 50 minutes and during the pandemic I worked online  although I am now also working face to face again. 

In the initial session we will look at your hopes for supervision and past experiences of supervision and  explore the nature of your  current client work before we decide to contract to work together. 

It is really important that we explore how we might work together and your expectations.
