Profile

I am an experienced Counsellor and CBT therapist. An accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies. I see clients in Bexhill-on-Sea, Little Common and London.

Please visit my website for more details about me and the way I work, or call if you have any questions.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

My counselling training was at the Metanoia Institute in London, where I was awarded a Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling and a Postgraduate Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for the treatment of Anxiety and Depression.

I have worked as a counsellor since 2000, comprising work in private practice, Victim Support, in a hospice and in schools. I am also engaged as a counsellor with national Employment Assistance Programs, working with local employees of large companies in dealing with issues that are impacting their performance at work.

I always practice within the strict ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the British Association for Behavioural Psychotherapies, offering my clients the assurance that my training, current work and continued professional development meets this associations high standards.

My work is regularly supervised by a qualified counselling supervisor. BACP accreditation is reviewed annually.

    Further Information

    I suggest an introductory session where we can explore together what it is you would like help with. We can then decide how to move forward and what sort of therapy would suit you best. Some people come to work with me on a particular issue for a few sessions, others want to come for more in depth counselling, it varies, depending on your needs.

    I offer COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT) which is a short to medium term therapy that focuses attention on the present rather than the past. CBT's core belief is that emotional distress is caused by the way we think, and changing our thoughts reduces worry and emotional anxiety. This way of working will have a definite structure, it will be problem-focused, goal oriented and practical. As your therapist I will educate you through guided discovery to be your own therapist in the future. CBT is proven to be an effective treatment for Anxiety and Depression.

    Everything discussed in a counselling session is completely confidential. I would never pass on any information unless I believed that you were in danger of harming yourself or another person, and only then after discussion with you.
