Counsellor Profile
I have over 15 years experience working as a counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer.
My work with people draws upon a wide range of models of counselling and psychotherapy, some traditional and some more contemporary.
An absolute foundation of my work is respect for others and their individual lives and experiences, which may be very different from my own.
I aim to be open to peoples needs and endeavour to find individualised responses to those particular needs. In this way I am able to avoid a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
My aim is to work collaboratively and in ways that are nurturing, stimulating and facilitative.
Many peoples first contact with me is from a place of extreme crisis and/or distress. My approach is to provide a welcoming and safe haven from which to begin to explore ways to move on. Many clients who have believed that their experiences were too shocking to share have benefited from my warm, accepting and down to earth approach.
I believe that freedom of choice and self-esteem depend on knowing ourselves clearly, and attach great value to working through unfinished business from our past.
I am interested in exploring ways that learned survival patterns can limit freedom and choice in everyday life. I am interested in working with men and women who want to know themselves more deeply.
I have a particular interest in working with Adult Children of Alcoholic Parents and anyone whose life has been effected by another’s drinking.
I recognise that sometimes humour can be a useful aid to the healing process.
I am interested in my own and others’ creativity and have enjoyed working with a variety of creative artists including painters, musicians, writers, ceramicists, sculptors and actors. I enjoy helping people rediscover and reclaim their excitement and passion.
