I predominantly work in a person centered way which is the belief that every human being is unique and has the potential for growth. We already possesses the innate abilities and resources to reach our potential (or best version of self) and as unique individuals we already know instinctively what is best for us. However, these instincts and resources may have been blocked by adverse life experiences.

My aim is to foster that individuality,  deepen your self awareness and trust your authentic self so that you can tap into your inner resources and respond to the challenges in your life, your way with your solutions. After all, you are the expert in your life!

It’s a collaborative relationship that offers support, compassion and empathy.  A safe and nurturing space, for you to explore and reflect on any issues that bring you to therapy, where you can be just as you are- no judgements.

I offer all prospective clients a free 15 minute phone call to discuss reasons for coming to therapy and also have an opportunity to ask questions and see if we are the right fit.

Our first session after this, is where we go into more depth, get to know one another better and start laying down the foundations of our therapeutic relationship.

For me, supervision isn't solely about overseeing your client work, or about creating a safe, reflective space where you can be supported and challenged in your growth as a practitioner. It's also about you, how you are doing, what is happening in your life, where you are at and being open to sharing and reflecting upon that and the impacts on your practise.

I'm Integratively trained, although my therapeutic practise is strongly grounded in Person-Centred theory. My supervision approach is relational and under-pinned by Hawkin’s & Shohet, seven-eyed model, a model that helps uncover potential blind spots and allows an insight into the various relational dynamics at work within a client’s experience, the relationships between counsellor/ client as well as the  dynamic between supervisor/supervisee.

My supervisees are just as important as my clients and as I check in with where my clients are at, so I like to do with my supervisees.

 I like to start sessions with a check in before we delve into the  client work and I aim to be flexible to the ever changing needs of the supervisee.

I offer face to face or zoom supervision to trainees and qualified therapists from all orientations and ranges of training backgrounds.

I can offer concessionary rates to counsellors in training.

I adhere to the ethical frameworks of the NCPS and BACP
