Counsellor Profile

I am a qualified, BACP Accredited and UKRCP Registered individual and couple counsellor working for Relate and in private practice.

I feel passionate about my work and privileged to be part of a journey people are making in their lives. We all go through rough patches at times, and I can help with a friendly and caring but objective perspective on the issues that concern you.

My aim is to work with you to gain insight into your situation by exploring ideas and beliefs so that things can change and you feel better able to handle your life and relationships. I think what I offer is effective and meaningful to clients.

I work for Relate in Worcester and Malvern and offer private counselling in Malvern, Ledbury and Hereford to individuals and couples concerned with issues impacting on the quality of their life. This may be difficulties around lack of communication, life changes eg. having children or children leaving home, financial concerns, sexual issues, anxiety or panic attacks, loss, feeling stuck, depression, wanting to end a relationship. I also work with young people over the age of 12 years on issues of concern such as bullying at school, family and step-family difficulties, or parental relationship breakdown.

I am trained in and base my work on a variety of therapies. Systemic ideas and questioning techniques help explore and create changes in thinking and behaviour. Psychodynamic theories and practice help make sense of how the past may be influencing the present and gain an understanding of the underlying issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques help consolidate changes in behaviour. Above all is working with you on what is relevant to you right now.

At an initial session we can discuss whether we match in terms of the sort of counsellor and counselling you are looking for, the things that are troubling you, and an idea of whether you want short or longer term counselling. If appropriate I can refer on to other professionals or agencies.

I am qualified as an individual and couple counsellor having gained a Relate Certificate in Couple Counselling and a Post Graduate Diploma in Couple Therapy.
