Profile

As a humanistic psychotherapist and counsellor, I provide a safe and confidential environment for you to explore issues and express feelings about them. Our therapeutic relationship serves to develop and deepen understanding and awareness, and further your capacity to make more conscious choices in your life.

I offer brief counselling, which involves working through more more immediate issues to achieve agreed goals over a defined period. I also offer longer-term therapy which involves an open-ended contract where the work develops into a deeper, more ongoing process of support and change.

I bring a rich and varied background to my work. I became involved in personal development and psychotherapy in 1979. In 2003 I began training as a humanistic psychotherapist at Spectrum, a Humanistic and Formative Therapy and Training centre. In addition I worked for Cruse Bereavement Care for seven years. 

Having participated in a wide range of trainings in different areas of personal development, I have a good understanding of relationship dynamics. I also bring to this work deep compassion, wisdom and commitment. I am a mother of two adult daughters and have a special interest in working with relationship issues in personal, family and work life.

I work a wide range of issues in my therapy practice. I also have a special interest,  and experience in counselling adult survivors of childhood sexual, physical and emotional abuse, and those bereaved by suicide.

I am committed to continued personal and professional development and supervision at Spectrum Training, and abide by their code of Ethics and Practice.
