Counsellor ProfileI am an experienced relationship counsellor who also specialises in psychosexual therapy, couples counselling and eating disorders.
I have helped many individuals and couples to feel empowered enough to make positive changes for themselves and thus reach greater fulfilment in their lives.
I offer a warm and genuine relationship to clients and always respects individual values, personal choice, resources, culture, ethnicity and sexual orientation.
I work integratively by utilising skills and techniques that I have developed through studying across the range of therapeutic modalities including Psychodynamic, Person Centred and Cognitive Behavioural.
I am a member of both the Experienced Counsellor Network and Couples Counselling Network.
I joined Relate seven years ago and, after completing initial eclectic training as a relationship counsellor, went on to study Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as an integral part of Relate’s psychosexual therapy (PST) Diploma course, held at Herbert Gray College, Rugby.
I completed the PST Diploma in 2004 and still works for Relate Herts Central branch, based in St Albans, as a remedial counsellor and sex therapist.
As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the British Association for Sexual and Relationship Therapy (BASRT) I am bound by the professional code of ethics of both organisations.
I am a member of the Association for Independent Practitioners and I hold full professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
