About Me

I am a qualified and experienced Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist (Level 7) and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their ethical framework for good practice. I provide a confidential and professional one-to-one counselling service for adults, young people and children over the age of 11 years. I am also a Consultative Supervisor (Level 7) and provide one to one or group Supervision to counsellors and other professionals.

My counselling practice aims to give you the opportunity to explore your problems, distresses or any difficult situations that you are experiencing in a confidential, non-judgmental, safe and supportive environment.

As a counsellor I feel privileged to be part of your journey and work to facilitate you through your difficulties so that they become more manageable. Working together we can find creative and positive ways forward by looking at your problems from different perspectives to find meaning in your life, and/or help you acquire new skills/techniques to assist you in overcoming the issues you are facing. Problems sometimes go on for a long time and you cannot see a way out of them or they can make you feel out of control, but CHANGE IS POSSIBLE.

How I Work

I am a Relational Integrative Counsellor which means I am able to combine theory and techniques from a variety of major theoretical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person Centred and Psychodynamic and integrate them into a single approach. This has the advantage of being incredibly flexible and creative in my practice and tailor my work to your specific needs or goals.
