Mondays to Saturdays with some evening appointments available

Whatever your circumstances, I appreciate making this first step can be a daunting experience for some, particularly those who may not have had counselling before. It can also be an exciting opportunity to create a fresh, bright and positive new journey into your future.

Adults

For those of you that feel like you have lost your way, I have a passion for helping people find their own identities and true voice, gaining confidence in their world. I offer an energetic, enthusiastic, honest and caring approach to my practice within a comfortable and friendly environment. I have vast experience working with clients in a solution focused approach. I work at a pace that suits you and your situation.

Although my training background is in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), I offer a flexible approach which may include some use of other therapies. I am committed to continued learning and development and keep updated with the latest knowledge to help clients to the best of my ability. I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) abiding by their code of ethics including regular supervision.

I have qualified as a trauma therapist this year (2021), please see my experience below.

Young People

I work with secondary school children from the age of 11 who have expressed a wish to engage in counselling.  The young person and I work as a team together where we explore different types of experiments/coping strategies and interventions that may suit their circumstances.  These sources are taken from a whole library of techniques I have accumulated over time.  I try to make sessions as comfortable as possible for the young person and fun where deemed appropriate.

I hold a current DBS check.

Experience

Counselling adults in a national mental health organisation dealing with a wide variety of issues in a time limited capacity. These include anxiety, depression, OCD, self harm, relationship issues, low self esteem and loss.

Counselling children and young people in a nationally recognised organisation covering an extensive range of problems.

I am a qualified life coach and offer counselling and coaching services combined for those who are interested in receiving help with achieving goals or overcoming barriers to success.

Relationships can be very difficult and stressful to navigate through.  I offer therapeutic support to one partner that is part of a couple or family to understand their belief systems and how they can grow effectively as a unit.  I am sorry but I do not counsel couples.

I have knowledge and experience counselling in surrogacy. I offer one to one therapy for IP’s (intended parents), surrogates and support workers coping with the unique challenges these journeys may bring.

I have a post graduate diploma in trauma therapy supporting clients within this complex field.  You may be suffering bodily symptoms as a result of trauma and we work together to make sense of them through therapies such as body psychotherapy (no touch).

I also offer supervision to trainee counsellors and qualified therapists.  I shortly begin supervision training and qualify in September 2021.

Your first session will be an assessment of your circumstances which will include me gathering information about your background and current situation.  There will be no obligation for you to continue past this appointment but it will give you an opportunity to decide whether you feel like I am the right therapist for you.

I will discuss contracting with you at the beginning of the appointment which will include confidentiality, the limits, my membership with BACP and the different therapies I offer.  

End of the appointment

I will explain exactly how I would be able to help you moving forward and discuss your expectations and goals for therapy.

However, if I feel that I do not have the necessary expertise or experience, I will discuss this with you and will refer you to a more appropriate counsellor or service.
