Counsellor Profile

I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor and I work both as a counsellor and a psychotherapist, adapting the way I work to individual needs. I began training as a counsellor in 1993 and am now training as an analytical psychotherapist. The people I see come with a wide variety of issues, most commonly relationship difficulties, anxiety or depression, or it may be a life event that is difficult to come to terms with. I will think about what a person tells me in terms of how it affects them in the present and will also explore links to past life experiences, so that painful situations in the present that may have roots in the past can be understood in a clearer way. I believe, as much research has concluded, that the relationship between patient and therapist is central to the work, and I aim to provide a setting that feels safe and non-judgemental in which difficult issues can be explored and worked through. To this end, I offer people regular sessions at least once a week, but can also see people more often. I offer both short-term and long-term work.

My practice is in central Hungerford where there is ample parking and both bus and train services.

Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)

I have a Post-Graduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling and since 2005 I have been training as a Jungian Analytical Psychotherapist. I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a Registered Independent Counsellor with the United Kingdom Register of Counsellors (UKRC). I have worked in an agency setting and in a GP surgery and am now in private practice.

I subscribe to BACP's Ethical Framework for Good Practice and also the Codes of Ethics and Practice of the West Midlands Institute of Psychotherapy.
