About me and my therapy practice
I am a experienced Psychotherapist and Counsellor and have been working with individuals, couples and groups for over three decades.
My clinical framework is in Transactional Analysis. Over the years I have studied many other transpersonal and healing philosophies which have become integrated in my practice.
As well as running a general practice, I specialise and have a passion for Women's issues. I am a Doula, studying with Michel Odent, who pioneered active birth for Women.
I am a trauma informed therapist and have been working with individuals and groups since 2010. I have recently co written and co facilitated a two year holistic programme for the NHS supporting clients with complex PTSD.
I have a back ground in body work. I became a Reiki Master in 2002. I am very interested in the Mind, Body and Spirit connection and this is also reflected in my practice.
I believe the therapeutic relationship creates the possibility of new ways of relating by "looking at the past in the present to secure the future."
By exploring our personal story, patterns and beliefs we can begin to make the changes needed to become an integrated, healthy and fulfilled person.
Practice description
I offer a safe, warm and confidential space to my client's, where we are able to explore any issues that may leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself and others. With support and reflection it will be possible to gain a deeper understanding and build self-awareness, enabling you to move forwards into a healthier and happier way of being.I offer both short term and long term therapy.
My sessions are 50 minutes long. I offer on line, phone and in person sessions.
My therapeutic style incorporates conversation, mindfulness, breathing and bodywork exercises when appropriate.
My first session
I am happy to have a short phone conversation prior to booking a session with me. I believe that finding the right therapist is an important part of the working alliance.
I ask my clients to fill out an integral assessment form prior to our work beginning.
I also send out my terms of business prior to sessions starting.
