Profile

A tranquil and relaxed countryside atmosphere to explore the things in life that may be bothering you, however big or small.

I work Integratively with my clients.  This means using the most appropriate intervention from each model (CBT, Psychodynamic, Humanistic) to best fit with your personality and the issue/s you wish to talk through, in a way that works for you.  Positive Therapy is weaved throughout the Integrative approach where it will fit appropriately, hopefully enabling you to plot a chart forward with your life, as well as acknowledge and explore any hurt or upset that may have been experienced in the past.  My aim is to provide a balance between acknowledging past hurt and setting future aim, goals, aspirations - any positive change that the client wants to consider.

The client is asked at the end of each session if they wish to return the following week for another session, it is their decision.

A 'Keep It Simple' approach is favoured.  Visual aids and tangible items are used to help clients remember coping strategies and positive ways of approaching life.

Languages:  English & BSL
(The service is available to both hearing and D/deaf people).

I specialise in and am currently working with the D/deaf and hard of hearing in British Sign Language in both England & Wales.  Able to travel long distances, currently working an area between Plymouth/Bath/Bristol/West Wales/Welsh Valleys - travel time and distance is charged for.  Working with NHS and self-referred referrals through a specialised Deaf Agency.

However, D/deaf private clients are welcome to visit Talking Heads, Talking Hands at The Summerhouse in Cowbridge, as are any hearing clients.
