Profile
I am a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor and BACP Senior Accredited Individual & Group Supervisor, working with adults, young people and children in both private and organisational practice for over 20 years.
I have experience within various clinical Counselling Agencies including 8 years working with clients struggling with profound physical and learning difficulty.
I believe that each individual is unique and is ultimately the expert in understanding and making sense of their life.
It is important for me to acknowledge the special place the individual has in humanity and to offer a non-judgmental and warm relationship.
My core training lies within the Humanistic School and I see the relationship I develop with my clients as the central agent for change.
I look to create a relationship where the client will feel respected and accepted, where genuineness between us is evident and I strive to develop an empathic understanding of how clients perceive and experience their life.
In addition to my Person Centred core theoretical model I draw from the Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioural and Solution Focused Brief Therapy approaches.
I see my work with clients as a collaborative, creative and spontaneous process in which I will draw from the ideas and interventions developed within these theoretical approaches dependant upon the needs and issues my clients bring.
Every client is different and I have found it helpful to adopt a flexible approach based on discovery with the client of what s/he finds most helpful as we work together.

Further Information
After an initial confidential assessment session (which will last for about an hour) we'll arrange between us when next to meet. Each of our subsequent sessions is confidential, and will last up to 50 minutes.
The aim of our work together will be to help you develop insight into your own problems and to identify your own resources. Most of all, our work together will help you feel more in control of your life and help to increase your sense of personal understanding.
