My supervision approach follows the 7 Eyed Model Framework of supervision to take into consideration different spheres overarching the overall work with clients. 

My approach to supervision is integrative to reflect my work as Integrative counsellor. 

I my sessions with supervisees I would like to create a collaborative relationship that can be both nurturing and challenging at times. 

I will offer a supportive and non judgemental space for supervisees to be able to develop skills and knowledge, to reflect on their approach with their clients, to offer new perspectives, to work on transference and countertransference issues. 

I can offer you a 20 minutes free consultation to see if we are suitable to work together.

I am an Integrative Counsellor & Coach, drawing on multiple approaches, tools and techniques in order to provide the best fit for each client’s needs and presenting issue, offering a confidential, non-judgemental space where to feel safe and contained whilst being listened to.

My perspective is that a person’s life cannot be divided in compartmentalised parts but rather needs to be addressed holistically in terms of thoughts, feelings and behaviours whilst at the same time considering goals, dreams and aspirations as in these lies the ultimate power to motivate and facilitate change.

Through our working collaboration we will aim to increase your self-awareness, facilitate an exploration of surfacing themes and arrive at deeper reflections to assist you in reaching your own solutions to your issues or considering a more functional appraisal to any situation that could ultimately serve you better and as consequence this could lead to a decrease in distress and anxiety, an increase in resilience and positive coping mechanisms ultimately conducive to improved relationships with oneself and others.

I will address past issues or trauma that keeps you stuck, as good foundations are essentials, by working on acceptance and reframing; resolving these unresolved issues is conducive to better functioning in the present while keeping on exploring hopes and future's goals to assist you in working towards the life you aspire to live.  

I believe in a sex positive culture and I can offer Psychosexual Therapy to work with sexual themes, sexual issues, trauma, gender issues, coming out, dysphoria, transitioning, kink and fetish, compulsive behaviours, erection issues. 

I am trained in Contemporary Intimate Partners Therapy and can offer Couple Counselling to address relationships issues such as marital difficulties, conflict, poor communication, separation, divorce, infidelity, affairs, low/high sexual desire, Kink, Poly’s and Open relationships. 

I have 18 years’ experience of working within the addiction field and employed by the NHS.

I offer both long or short term therapy depending on the presenting issues and client's needs. 

I can work in a spiritual way and offer Mindfulness and Breath work to individuals and groups. 

I am also a qualified Children’s Counsellor using a combination of person centred, psychodynamic and play-therapy approaches to enable children express hidden feelings, having their voices heard, facilitate the many transitions a young person faces in their development, looking at issues like self-harm, bullying, peer pressure, emerging sexuality, drug use, family issues, school attendance.  

Areas I work with are:

Anxiety, panic attacks, depression, abuse, suicidal ideation, rape, DV, trauma, childhood trauma, loss, self-harm, disability, low self-confidence/self-esteem, work related issues, sexual issues. 

I can offer you a 20 minutes free initial consultation to gather information on what you would like to work on in therapy and see if we could work together and to answer any questions you might have in regards of the process. 

Couples' First Session: I suggest to book an initial longer session for 1 +1/2 hours in order to have enough time for all parties to express their views, costing £120 then £100 for 50m session.

Online sessions currently discounted rate 50£ x sessions.
