Counsellor Profile

I am a Humanistic, Integrative counsellor. I spent a number of years working in 'people' professions: initially as a librarian / careers information advisor, and latterly as an information professional and a lecturer, before embarking on a career in counselling. I believe this has given me a broad experience of people and their problems.
My approach is based on the relational model and I believe that the therapeutic relationship between a counsellor and client is paramount. My qualification is based on the integration of a number of psychotherapeutic paradigms, and I am therefore able to fit my way of working to an individual client, rather than the reverse.
I am bilingual (English / Danish).

Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and, in addition to the Humanistic model (Transactional Analysis, Person-Centered, Gestalt); I am also trained in psychodynamic counselling and CBT. I am a member of BACP, and a CCC Registered Counsellor.
My background is in education, where I have lectured in both Further and Higher Education. I also have extensive experience in dealing with employment issues, with a specific interest in counselling victims of bullying.
I have experience and training in working with survivors of sexual abuse, people with relationship difficulties and a number of other presenting problems.
