About me and my therapy practice

I have been a supervisor since 2001.  My areas of expertise are in children and young people, schools, eco-therapy, including Walk and Talk therapy, Animal and Equine Assisted Therapy.

Features

Availability

I work Monday to Thursday inclusive, with evening appointments on Mondays and Tuesdays. 

I may not answer emails or telephone calls from Friday to Sunday, but please be reassured I will get back to you. 

My annual holiday is from 23rd December to the 5th January. 

About me and my therapy practice

I have over 25 years experience of counselling, training and supervising individuals, couples and groups and more than 25 years of extensive experience working with children and adolescents. 

 My comprehensive knowledge of children and young people's development enables me to work compassionately and effectively with this client group. 

In addition I have significant experience of working with issues associated with anxiety and depression, complex trauma, attachment, relationships, conflict and loss. 

I am also a qualified and experienced Animal/Equine Assisted Therapist.  For those who find sitting in a room too much we can also consider eco-therapy and Walk and Talk.  

You are welcome to have a free initial consultation, either face to face, telephone call or online where we can discuss what you are looking for and whether I’m the right person for you. In that session I will answer any questions you may have.

Practice description

My practice is on the outskirts of Taunton, Somerset nestled in the foot of the Blackdown Hills at the end of a no through road. 

Therapy takes place in a private and secluded shepherd's hut surrounded by trees.  There is access to private outdoor space, toilet and parking.

Eco, Equine and Animal Assisted Therapy all take place in my private grounds where we will not be disturbed.  There is access to a field, woods and brook.

Walk and Talk - There are many beautiful places to walk with routes that are easy, moderate and a little more challenging.  Along these routes are places to stop and reflect.

I’m an integrative counsellor with a solid person centred foundation. However, I have continued training in various modalities which means I may draw upon Transactional Analysis, CBT, developmental psychology, neuroscience and creative therapies if it is useful to you. 

I am a trained practitioner in the Rewind Technique and have successfully helped clients with their symptoms of trauma and PTSD. 

I have experience of working successfully with professional sports people and the military.

I am also able to offer life and parenting coaching for clients who are seeking direction and a way forward.

I will work with what feels right for you to help you find the peace you are searching for. 

My first session

My first initial consultation is free and can last half an hour. In that session I will share with you how I work, answer any questions you may have and ask you what you would hope to achieve in counselling.
