Profile
I offer face to face, 1:1 Counselling, Couple Counselling, Life Coaching and Emotional Freedom Techniques (AMT Certificate), Supervision, Workshops and group facilitation/training.
I have a broad life experience and believe that a counselling relationship is a therapeutic experience which enables self-healing at an emotional and spiritual level which in turn promotes a sense of physical well-being.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
My special interest is in how we form relationships. I work with people rather than issues and therefore am interested in everything about you and how you interact with yourself, your environment and others, including me. Issues you may bring could be around work, family, relationships, anxiety, phobias, depression, disability, addictions, loss and separation, bereavement, self-image or self-esteem or you may come to me for self-development or to find solutions to a particular problem you have.
In times of crisis many people find they cannot or don’t want to turn to family or friends for help. At these times it is easy to feel overwhelmed, low and depressed. It is at these times Counselling can be most useful as talking to someone with specialised training enhances awareness of our patterns and enables us to resolve our difficulties.
Couple Counselling differs from individual counselling in that the locus of the counselling will always be on the co-created dynamic of the couple relationship. Most people don’t know what they don’t know about relationships. It is easy to compound misunderstandings through emotionally fuelled miscommunications, leading to a cycle of unfulfilled needs and increasing resentments.
When this becomes an established habit, couples don’t know how to break
the cycle leading to increasing resentments and unhappiness - and relationship breakdown.
Counselling helps individuals and couples to deal with their relationship issues which often include life stage transitions, illness, work worries, financial strains, conflict, sexuality, step-families or affairs.
I see gay and lesbian couples as well as hetrosexual couples.
EFT I offer guidance and support to those who wish to use EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique - a self-help therapy which is especially supportive to those wishing to conquer phobias, cravings and anxiety.

Further Information
My approach is essentially humanistic and integrative which means that I offer an empathic approach and draw upon a wealth of knowledge, training and experience from various 'schools' of theory. I originally trained in Gestalt Therapy before studying other types of approaches. Loosely Gestalt is a German word meaning parts organised into a pattern or 'whole'.
