Counsellor Profile

My private practice is based in a comfortable, quiet, ground floor therapy room with on-road car parking. I am located near to the A47 for ease of access from the central road networks.

I work with individuals with issues including bereavement, marital separation or divorce , relationship problems; sexual, emotional and physical abuse. Sometimes therapy is sought where there is a sense that life feels empty, meaningless or unfulfilled. Other areas of work are listed below.

The way that I work is to seek to develop an awareness of unconscious processes. It is about helping to make sense and meaning out of the difficulties which have led to therapy. This can enable a growing and deepening self awareness which may lead to an understanding of how earlier life experiences continue to exist in the present and may be preventing a satisfying and fulfilling way of living or make existing problems more difficult to manage.

I work with patients on a once weekly, twice weekly or three times weekly basis.

Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)

BA(Hons)1980;
Certificate in Counselling Skills 1999;
Advanced Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling 2001
I commenced training as a Jungian Analytical Psychotherapist with the West Midlands Institute of Psychotherapy in 2004. I have undertaken a 2 year 'infant observation' study where I have observed an infant's developing capacities to relate and interact within the family environment. These early interactions shape our ability to relate and manage stress in adult life.

I abide by the WMIP Code of Conduct Guidelines.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and am bound by their Code of Conduct Guidelines.

I have past counselling experience working within Higher Education with young adults. In my private practice I work with adults of all ages. I am also working with adults within the NHS in a psychotherapy clinic.
