Profile

Highly Qualified and Experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist with an established practise in Stones Green. I offer the first session at a reduced rate to give you space to ensure that the therapy I offer is the right appoach for you.

I am a Person-Centred Counsellor, Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapist and Focusing Trainer. I offer a confidential space where your experience will be received with warmth, unconditional acceptance and empathic understanding, which will enable you to safely explore and interact with your experience to find deeper meaning.

Focusing, Experiential Psychotherapy and Person-Centred Counselling together form a gentle, effective and enpowering process to initiate positive lasting change. Focusing enables you to move forward in areas of your life where you feel you have become stuck. By interacting with your inner experience of unresolved issues you will be able to find what you need for change to occur.

What to Expect
I offer a reduced fee for the first initial session which lasts for 60 minutes. This is space for you to explore what has brought you to counselling, what you would like out of counselling, and ensure that the therapy I offer is the right approach for you. There is no obligation to continue therapy but should you wish to do so, we will then arrange to meet once a week for 60 minutes at a time and day that is convenient to you.

As each individual's experience is unique the length of therapy varies from short-term, usually 6 weeks, to long-term. Long- term is open-ended for as long as you feel you require counselling.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I have gained extensive experience working with a wide range of psychological and emotional issues in my private counselling practise, within organizations and a GP's Surgery. I also currently work for the Women's Refuge, providing outreach counselling for women who have experienced domestic abuse.

I specialize in working with individuals to overcome trauma, abuse, bereavement, depression, stress, anxiety, conflict, relationship issues, dreams and recurring nightmares.
