About me and my therapy practice
I am a qualified counselling supervisor working privately as a counsellor and psychotherapist. I have an Advanced Diploma in Clinical and Counselling Supervision (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society: Accredited) with experience of working with trainees, qualified counsellors, supervisors and others working in clinical professions.
I utilize a range of modalities and supervisory approaches, depending on the ethical and therapeutic problems or matters raised. I encourage supervisees to be aware of the context and dynamics involved in many different systems and in the agencies or organizations in which they work; and where their clients attend for counselling. I believe this encourages a depth to the work which is so important, this supports a reflective and explorative practice. This includes the normative, informative and restorative aspects, which I believe importantly adds depth and interest to the work.

About me and my therapy practice
I am an experienced counsellor, psychotherapist, mentor, clinical and counselling supervisor (MBACP: Registered and Accredited). I have a background in Teaching and Education (Cert.Ed.; B.Ed. (Hons.) with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology (MSc).
I am an Accredited and Approved Counselling (NCPS) Supervisor, Counsellor, and Psychotherapist (MBACP: Registered and Accredited).
I enjoy supervision with qualified supervisors, counsellors and trainees, where we can openly and honestly discuss any matters that can impact on the work we encounter. We will discuss client risk and ethical dilemmas that can affect client relationships and counselling practice. It is important to focus on the self through relational supervision and to discuss various methodologies and theories which help to develop the therapy work.
I am also a trained Relationship and Couple Therapist (COSRT) and understand how difficult the work may be when working with sensitive issues and partnership problems. I aim to have an appreciation of the deeper issues which may underlie the problems, along with gaining a greater awareness of practical interventions which can facilitate and help break any unhelpful patterns of behaviour.
Practice description
Sometimes in supervision you may need the support and mentoring from an experienced and qualified therapist (BACP: Level B/Counselling Supervisor: Level 7) to provide a clear focus on what is important. We discuss together in a relaxed and confidential environment with the aim to highlight better options and a clear direction to consider for therapy.
I work online in the UK and in-person (Face to Face), offering regular, monthly (90 minute) sessions. However, if any matter between sessions is urgent, then I will aim to answer your phone or email query as soon as possible.
My first session
We will discuss and arrange a date for your inItial supervision session, once agreed we will usually meet monthly according to the BACP's code of practice.

I am an experienced counsellor, psychotherapist, Mentor, clinical and counselling supervisor (MBACP: Registered and Accredited). I have a background in Teaching and Education [Cert.Ed.; B.Ed.(Hons)] with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology (MSc).
I am an Accredited and Approved Counselling (NCPS) Supervisor. I provide therapy for people with mental health concerns and work related issues. I work with various mental health charities, agencies and organisations. Previously, I worked in the NHS as a Psychology Practitioner and Well-Being Therapist, I currently work in Private Practice supporting people with their personal issues and problems, online and in-person (FtoF).
I am trained as a Relationship and Couple Therapist (COSRT) and understand how difficult it is at times to gain agreement over sensitive and important issues. We work collaboratively to discuss and support you through your difficulties. I aim to have an appreciation of the deeper issues which may underlie the problems, along with gaining a greater awareness of practical interventions which can facilitate and help review any unhelpful patterns of behaviour or negative thoughts.
Sometimes individuals need the support and mentoring from an experienced and qualified therapist (BACP: Level B/Counselling Supervisor: Level 7) to provide a clear focus on what is important. Discussing together in a relaxed and confidential environment, we explore your individual perspectives and emotional responses; very often we may focus on better options and gain a clear direction to consider.

My first session
In the initial session we would discuss any questions you may have about the Therapy Agreement or Contract, confirm your identity and add relevant personal details. You will be asked to provide this information in advance of therapy taking place. It is important that you provide your relevant medical history and notify me of any medications that you are currently taking and prescribed.
All sessions are arranged and usually paid for in advance by bank transfer. I will email my invoice and if requested, any receipts. The fee covers the therapist's engagement time in managing the initial agreement and contracting process, and all emails. You can always ask any questions and raise any point you may have about entering into counselling therapy.
