Profile
My private practice is within a safe and confidential environment in which to explore your issues. I have over ten years experience now in working with clients as a senior counsellor in the NHS and am passionate about counselling having experienced and witnessed the change and growth people can achieve.
I have a wealth of experience in anxiety and depression, relationship issues, childhood trauma, depression and sexual and body issues. I've helped many people gain a better perspective, learn more about themselves in relationship and gain a better quality of life through counselling. By safely and at you own pace being able to explore your internal feelings and thoughts you can gain a greater sense of well being and balance.
I offer a person-centred counselling and cognitive behaviour therapy ad cab combine both these types of therapy to meet individual needs.
I have many years experience of meditation practice personally and can guide those requiring this in mindfulness training for stress, anxiety or panic disorder. Meditation and mindfulness can help to gain an overall feeling of peace and balance to one's well being.
In April and May 2010 I will be completing the Advanced Couples Counselling Training with Allan Turner and Kate Stubbings of Counselling Works Ltd.
In 2008 I became an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists fulfilling the criteria needed for this status as a counsellor.
My private practice is a warm and inviting space which is easily accessible and with ample parking available.
