Profile
Services I offer include
Individual counselling support for a very wide range of issues
Working on-site supporting employees following a trauma or any other incident affecting the employee’s emotional wellbeing (and therefore their ability to be productive or otherwise)
Training and facilitation – onsite or in neutral premises (topics can usefully include such things as Managing Stress; Assertiveness Skills; Bullying in the workplace – how to deal with the effects effectively; Developing and maintaining resilience to setbacks – and many more
I initially qualified in 1993 after a 3 yr diploma in solution focused counselling (which has a person centred base).
I was initially with a voluntary agency in Harlow, Essex, which dealt with a wide range of issues. Since then I have worked in a GP practice (Bishops Stortford, Herts), an alcohol agency (Ware, Herts), and a crisis pregnancy centre (which included training and supervising counsellors throughout the UK). I have also delivered training at levels 1 & 2 (50 & 250hrs contact time) in different locations in the UK and Africa.
Currently I have a private practice in Crawley, W Sussex, and offer face to face or telephone counselling, supervision and training. I also work in a national EAP service, managing all aspects of cases and providing stand alone counselling.

Further Information
WHAT DOES COUNSELLING AIM TO DO?
COUNSELLING aims to help you EXPLORE your circumstances, UNDERSTAND your feelings, thoughts & behaviour, and so be better able to DECIDE what you want to do.
COUNSELLING aims to SUPPORT you as you begin to come to terms with the unchangeable, make decisions about things you can (and want to) change, and begin to put them into practice.
Perhaps you are feeling Flat? Tearful? Anxious?...
Perhaps you dont know why?
Perhaps you are only too aware of the reason!
Some of the aims of counselling are to help you:
Make a choice; Make a change Or Sort out confusion
WORKING TOGETHER
Whatever your particular situation you will receive Individual Consideration and Respect, Space and Time to think through what you find important, and unconditional positive regard as we work together on the things you may want to bring.
THE FIRST SESSION
This session contains a time of information giving. I can give you information about how I work,
What confidentiality is etc.
I can attempt to answer any questions you may have about what counselling is;
How it may help you, how long it may take etc.
You can give me an idea of what is going on for you, and what has brought you to counselling at this time.
And so we begin ...............
- Supervision available
- Online, email or telephone counselling available
