About Me

I am a qualified Counsellor (Dip Couns MBACP), Supervisor and Couples Counsellor. I am also qualified to work with children from aged 8, along with adolescents/teenagers.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I abide by their ethical framework for good practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I adhere to the BACP's requirement for continuing professional development and monthly supervision to ensure safe practice.

I have a background in Medico-Legal defense work and I have had significant experience counselling staff within the NHS. I have also worked in both the Public and Private sector and within charitable organisations and for E.A.P.s.

As an experienced qualified counsellor, supervisor, couples counsellor and child & adolescent/teenager counsellor. I offer counselling to individuals couples and organisations. I also undertake home visits when health or mobility make attending my office a difficulty to you. I work in a humanistic-person-centred manner, using CBT and Solution Focused techniques within my work. My own core values of honesty & fairness are at the heart of my optimistic non-directive approach.

I believe achieving a therapeutic relationship between client & counsellor is paramount for the counselling process to progress. As you bring & share your issues, worries and hopes, I aim to provide the core conditions of respect, empathy & genuineness in the safe environment of my private consulting room. You will be listened to and your confidentiality respected.

We all experience difficult and challenging times and knowing what to do and how to move forward if often difficult. I will aim to see your issue/s from your perspective and work with you at a pace that is right for you to bring about the changes or understanding that is important for you.

Sessions (each 50 minutes) can be booked on a weekly or fortnightly basis - it's your needs that matter. We are all unique and sometimes need some help or direction.
