About me and my therapy practice

**guaranteed response to enquiries within 24 hours**

What you can expect from me as a supervisor…

I am open to working with counsellors from various modalities as would seek to understand your individual approach to counselling. I also have experience as a Counselling Skills Tutor at Leeds Beckett University, working with counselling trainees on the PG Diploma.

My job as a supervisor is to uphold the counselling profession; I do this by working with the therapist to monitor client safety and wellbeing, and creating a facilitative and nurturing environment in which we can explore together the therapeutic relationships between you and your clients, and reflect on the unconscious processes which can emerge between them.

Also in the process of supervision, I would support and encourage the supervisee to become aware of any internal responses that may help enhance their personal and professional development.

Practice description

I am an affiliate counsellor for a few different EAPs, offering solution focussed counselling for workplace clients. I have a private practice and a special interest in working with clients with disordered eating. 

I have experience working in a women’s only centre providing time-limited NHS Talking Therapy to women of all ages suffering from mental health issues, mainly complex trauma, sexual abuse, childhood sexual abuse, and domestic abuse. Also, a range of other problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, eating disorders, addictions, chronic pain conditions, rape, anger management.

I also work for the University of Leeds as part of the Disability Services support worker team, as a Specialist Mentor for students with diagnosed mental health difficulties and other chronic conditions. The mentoring role allows a more developmental therapeutic relationship where there is collaboration and support tailored to a variety of aspects of a students’ life, to encourage and ultimately empower the student.

My first session

I offer an initial 30 minute online consultation to see if we may work together. This is charged at £25.

About me and my therapy practice

**guaranteed response to enquiries within 24 hours**

I offer sessions face to face in Pontefract, Wakefield City Centre, and online via Zoom.

I am an integrative psychotherapist - this means I use multiple counselling approaches and techniques within my work, therefore I can work in a way that best suits each individual client rather than be fixed to one specific mode of therapy.

I qualified in 2017 and became Accredited by the BACP in 2019. Accredited is a quality standard for experienced practitioners and means I employ high standards of knowledge, experience and have a commitment to ongoing professional development.

I am also a qualified Clinical Supervisor offering supervision to other counsellors.

Practice description

In my private practice I have a special interest in working with clients who struggle with their relationship with food, particularly binge eating and obesity. I also have specialist experience working with clients who have Autism and ADHD (or are beginning to explore and understand neurodiversity).

I am also an affiliate counsellor for a few EAPs, offering short term solution focussed counselling for workplace clients.

I have extensive experience working with all forms of anxiety and low mood/depression, I believe this is something we can all experience at some point in our lives. My speciality is being able to sit with clients in the emotional pain they are experiencing and be alongside them whilst making sense of it together. I draw upon a range of techniques and methods to do this and always work at the pace the client feels most comfortable with. I have a strong drive to help clients work towards self understanding, self compassion and empowerment.
