As a qualified, registered and fully accredited member of BACP, I provide professional and confidential counselling in a safe and supportive environment.

I hold a Professional Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling and I am experienced in a broad range of issues (see below). I can work either short term (up to 6 weeks) or provide longer term support. 

As an integrative counsellor I am able to work using a specific approach (eg CBT) or to taylor a mix of approaches to suit each client individually.

I offer an initial 50 minute consultation session, which is free of charge and without obligation. During this session I will answer any questions or concerns, gain an understanding of your situation, and together we will look at how counselling could help you.

I have additional specialist training in addiction and addictive behaviour.

As a member of BACP, I adhere to the highest ethical standards.

As well as running my own private practice, I have also worked within the NHS and voluntary sectors.

I also provide professional and confidential supervision in a safe and supportive environment to qualified and trainee therapists.

Please note:  I have offices in Swindon Old Town (SN1) and Calne town centre (SN11).  Please state on your enquiry which location you would prefer. I also offer sessions via Zoom, Skype and telephone.

I provide professional and confidential supervision in a safe and supportive environment. As an integrative supervisor I am able to work using a specific approach (eg CBT, or Person Centred) or with an integration of approaches to suit each supervisee individually.

I am an experienced therapist and over the past 14 years I have gained a broad range of experience working with a diverse range of clients in a variety of settings. I run a busy private practice and also work with second sector and voluntary sector organisations. In addition I offer corporate trainings as well as trauma consultancy services to public sector organisations.

My core training is in Humanistic and Integrative therapy, which offers a Person Centred relational approach alongside an integration of other modalities including Psychodynamic. Since my original training I have expanded my integration to include CBT, IFS, Solution Focussed, Cognitive Analytic and Jungian approaches. I am also a fully qualified EMDR Therapist and trauma specialist working with TFCBT, Body Work, Mindfulness and IFS approaches to resolving trauma. I have additional specialist training in addiction and addictive behaviour and I am familiar with working with individuals, couples and in group settings and with both short term and long term work.

I strive to bring to my supervision practice the qualities I have found so valuable in my own supervision, including positive regard and respect, honest supportive constructive feedback, insight, a sound knowledge of therapeutic skills and of multiple modalities, creativity and personal validation as well as good humour along the way. My aim is to support you fully in your own style and approach to client work and to help guide and support you through the inevitable challenges of therapeutic practice as well as with your ongoing development as a practitioner.

Initial Session:  I offer an initial 50 minute consultation session, which is free of charge and without obligation. During this session I will answer any questions and gain an understanding of your approach, client base and work settings. We will also discuss any supervision needs or expectations that are important to you and together, we will look at how we could work effectively and collaboratively to support your work.

Further Sessions:  I am currently offering a limited number of spaces at a reduced rate (£30 per session, on a first come first served basis) whilst studying for an Advanced Diploma in Relational Supervision. 

Sessions in person or online via Zoom/Teams
