Profile

I am an accredited member of the BACP.
My chosen therapeutic style is integrative, which means I will use the most appropriate skills to suit the clients needs and help facilitate the best possible outcome.
I have 16 years experience, working with individuals and couples on many areas of difficulty.
Having a vast experience of working with extended/step-family problems I enjoy helping all family members to understand the complex relationships within an extended family from grandparents to children. Another aspect of family work I have experience in is with couples who are coping with sub-infertility, fertility treatment and infertility.
My past experience includes delivering training for companies on related issues, such as stress management, life balance and empathetic and assertive skills.
