Our service runs throughout the week from Monday morning to Saturday afternoon. We offer daytime and evening appointments. 

Personally I offer Monday to Wednesday 10.00am until 2.00 pm, and Thursdays 2.00 pm until 8.00 pm. Face to face and online sessions. But my team offer additional appointments too. 

I see clients myself and I also supervise other therapists. I work hard to build open relationships, where there is a sense of trust. My aim is for every individual to feel at ease when talking to me and to always know that they are heard and valued.

I am Psychodynamically trained to masters level, but I also have Person- Centred training and experience. I work with individuals, couples and I am experienced in running group therapy. My supervision training was completed with CASCADE and was a creative course in individual and group supervision.

I have had a lot of experience in different therapeutic settings, including managing an eating disorder service, running an addiction clinic and working for a healthy living centre. I have also worked as a counsellor in GP surgeries and for several different charities. This includes voluntary counselling work that I have done overseas in South Africa and for charities such as MIND. I have also supervised in many different settings, ranging from private practice to a general counselling service. I have also since gone on to train as a successful empowerment coach.

I am a very focused individual – whoever I am with and whatever I am doing – always gets my full attention. I believe in the work that we do and I know the difference it makes. If you come to see me or any member of my team I promise you will in good hands. We are here to help.

I have been committed to the world of talking therapy for 20 years. After working in several different settings I decided in 2009 to set up my own counselling service. It was the best decision I ever made.

I am very passionate about the work that I do. Your counselling service is an absolute priority for me. Every enquiry comes to me personally and I focus on giving each individual the attention and time that they deserve. This happens from the moment you contact me.

Over the years my team has grown and the service has developed. We now offer a wide range of therapy and work with a large variety of issues. I am very proud of the work that we do and believe that the relationships we form are at the heart of it.

At your counselling service we provide a confidential, safe and non judgemental environment. I personally work in a very creative, dynamic and challenging way – and I encourage this throughout the team. Our goal is to facilitate growth and change.

We have a diverse team, offering therapy to children and young people, individual adults and couples. Our experienced team work have different styles and theoretical foundations, and they adapt the work that they do to every individual they meet. 

I offer an introduction call for every client should they wish to have one. This short call is a way to meet me or a member of my team before going ahead. The aim is to make sure you feel comfortable to proceed and have found the right therapist for you. The relationship is after all the most important thing. 

We then offer an hour assessment - and we do this in the most relaxed way possible. This is chance to get to know you, to look at the areas that you are struggling with or finding challenging. It is also a good opportunity to look at the goals for therapy together and to implement them going forward. It is your chance to get to know your therapist too and to make sure you are getting everything you need before the therapeutic sessions regularly start. 

We look forward to working with you. 

I offer both online and face to face supervision. I am happy to discuss your needs and the length of supervision you require. Whether that is 1.5 hours a month or 1 hour a week or fortnight. I am happy to discuss and make it work.

My general working hours are Monday to Thursday daytime. And Thursday evening. But I can be flexible with supervisees. 

I am a qualified and experienced supervisor. I have supervised therapists in a wide range of settings, including private practice, students in training, eating disorder clinics and general counselling services.

I work creatively with supervisees and aim for them to reflect on the work they do with clients in a supportive and encouraging environment.

I respect the work of my supervisees and work alongside them , rather then instructing them. I work hard to build an open and respectful relationship with them, where I can challenge them and they feel they can challenge me.

Supervision is about learning, development, understanding and it is a unique and powerful process. One that is key in the work we do as therapists. For me it is so important to focus on the supervisee, their feelings, experiences and personal development, while also understanding the client work that they are doing.

In addition to supervising therapists I can offer supervision to a range of different professionals. This has included those in the NHS settings, solicitors and barristers, estate agents, chefs, life coaches and mentors – to name but a few. Please do contact me if you are in another profession and would like to have some external supervision.

I work individually and I run supervision groups.
