So . . . if you would like to manage your anger better, reduce your stress, recover from a relationship breakdown, be a better more relaxed parent or improve your well being; Give me a call or drop me an email and I'll get back to you within 24 hours.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

My initial training as a counsellor was Person Centred. I have subsequently trained to Masters level in Psychodynamic Counselling and Integrative Psychotherapy. My model of Integration recognises the importance of our early development and past experiences as well as how we relate to ourself and others in the here and now.

I have worked as a counsellor / psychotherapist for 17 years with experience in the National Health Service, Social Service, Work Place counselling and in Primary and High schools.

I work with individuals, couples, families and children. I work creatively, so in addition to talking I might suggest we use therapeutic writing, art, visualisation or other creative techniques. Although I might suggest a technique, the choice is always yours. I would never want you to do anything you don't feel comfortable trying.When working with children I always use Play Therapy.
