Profile

I am an experienced counsellor, trained in humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapies (CBT). I specialize in the person-centred approach, which means we will focus on you and your concerns together at your pace. I will treat you with respect and warmth. I will listen impartially and without judgement to whatever issues are causing you concern. My aim is to help you to find your own solutions to problems, which will help you to find lasting peace of mind and coping strategies for the future.

Having trained in more than one perspective, it means that I can be flexible and can tailor my approach to suit the individual. This means for example, we can work with CBT if you prefer, or use certain aspects of CBT if you and I think it appropriate.

I can offer counselling on a one to one basis, couples, groups, employee assistance programmes, stress management and getting the best out of your staff. I also have over 10 years experience in working with police officers, both in counselling and management training.

I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and adhere to the BACP ethical framework for Good Practice.

I am also a member of the Association for Independent Practitioners.

Other areas of counselling I deal with

I have an 8 year old daughter with downs syndrome and would be happy to discuss any related topics, including pregnancy, miscarriage, disability, learning difficulty, downs syndrome.

The above list is not exhaustive. You may wish to discuss one, all or none of the issues listed. For example, your life not being how you would like it to be; or you may not be the one with the problem, but are affected by it and need someone to talk to.

I can also help with relaxation, including breathing exercises and guided imagery. This can certainly help with anxiety, which is often present when there are problems.
