Counsellor Profile

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with over 7 years experience working with clients with a wide range of issues.

I undertake both brief counselling and long term work with single and couple clients. I use Psychodynamic counselling which involves helping clients to make links with issues from their past to the present and often deals with regression and repression. I also practise Integratively - utilising one or more counselling approaches according to the therapeutic needs of my client - and, where appropriate, use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) which can assist in changing negative thought patterns to positive ones.

I work with issues about careers, some of which can cause stress and depression, and am also trained in Information, Advice & Guidance which I have provided in both institutional and individual settings.

Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)

I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I have a BA Honours degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling and an Advanced Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling. As part of my degree I have undertaken training in CBT and have experience of working with clients wanting this approach.
