Profile
I have over 30 years experience in counselling and therapy with Men, Women and couples. I have had a private practice in general psychotherapy and psycho sexual and relationship therapy for over 14 years based in Warmley on the A420 easy access for bath and North Bristol.
I also have a practice off the Gloucester road on a Wednesday afternoon and evening. I tend to work afternoons and evenings last appointment 8.00pm but can also do mornings Warmley only.
I see individuals and couples of any sexual preference for both general problems [depression, anxiety, wanting more from life] and specialise in a full range of sexual problems [erection difficulties, loss of desire, sexual addiction and relationship problems] communication and intimacy problems, a tangled web of problems which have developed overlong term relationship and empty nest syndrome.
I also specialise in anger and violence and have over 20 years experience of working with male violence and anger.
I have also developed considerable experience in working with men who have experienced being bullied as a child and adult.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
I hold a C.Q.S.W., Post Grad Dip Psycho Sexual and relationship Therapy. Advance Certificate in Psycho sexual and Relationship Therapy. Certificate in Constellation Therapy. Diploma in Life Coaching. Certificate in sexual minority therapy.
I am accredited for practice by British Association for sexual and Relationship Therapy.
I am registered to practice by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy.
I am a member of the UK Association for Humanistic Psychology Practitioners and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
My main psychotherapy training was over 5 years and based at the Whittington Hospital London and South Bank University. I have over 25 years experience as a social worker in Voluntary agencies.
I am a counsellor for a number of employee assisted providers providing counselling support for a wide range of companies and their employees.
My therapy orientation is Humanistic integrative which includes TA, Gestalt RET, CBT.
My approach is holistic, authentic,
respectful, non judgemental and transparent.
I believe that everyone is unique and has the power to choose and have the capacity to change and grow. No one theory or approach holds the truth and living is creative and involves the interaction between the emotional, intellectual and physical aspects of each person.
I believe in using a wide range of skills to fit your needs at any moment. I have developed an interest in Mindfulness Mediation particularly for depression and anxiety and use handouts and prerecorded Cd's to use at home.
