Profile

I am a BACP accredited counsellor with experience of working in a GP's surgery and with an established private practice. I work with a wide range of issues and I offer a safe and confidential setting where you can explore what is troubling you.

ABOUT MYSELF
I originally worked in education, but my passion for counselling and my belief in how it can help people led me to retrain to degree level as an Integrative counsellor.
I have chosen to work in an Integrative way because I feel it draws on the best of both Humanistic and Psychodynamic counselling theories; I believe that working in this way allows people to feel heard, supported and to understand themselves more fully.

WHAT IS COUNS£ELLING AND HOW CAN IT HELP?

Sometimes in life we can feel overwhelmed by what we have to manage. It may be you are having to deal with a difficult situation and feeling stressed and unsupported. It can be really helpful to talk things through with a trained therapist. You may have experienced a bereavement in your life, or be feeling depressed, or struggling with work and relationship difficulties and feeling alone. Having some counselling can allow you to feel heard and lead to you gaining valuable insight into your situation and what options you might have.

After an initial enquiry we would arrange to meet for an assessment session where we can look at what has brought you to seek counselling and we can decide if it would be helpful to you and what it would involve.
The counselling I provide can be either short-term, such as 6 sessions, or more open-ended, longer term work. In longer term work we would have regular reviews to assess what is being achieved and clarify objectives.
The sessions are 50 minutes long, with an initial 60 minute assessment session.

I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and a UKRCP Registered Independant Counsellor and I abide by their code of ethics and professional practice.
