Profile

I am a qualified integrative counsellor working in various areas including bereavement; loss; stress and anxiety; relationship difficulties; Higher Education Student issues and personal growth.

As an integrative counsellor, I work in a way which means I draw on various approaches in order to meet individual client needs to explore and reflect on their situation. I offer:

• A therapeutic relationship which is centred on your needs.
• Space to explore difficult feelings and generate change in a safe, non-judgemental environment which can help develop confidence and a greater sense of wellbeing.
• New coping mechanisms and/or ways of dealing with conflicts.
• one to one sessions on a short or long term basis depending on your needs.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

My two year training was completed at the Iron Mill Institute in Exeter after which time I was awarded a BACP accredited Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling.

In addition to the above, my training and experience also includes:

1.  Specialist bereavement and loss counselling; specifically supporting those with chronic grief where the grief is prolonged, inhibited and traumatic.
2.  Higher Education sector counselling where the primary task is to enable undergraduate students to become more effective in their lives within and outside of the Education sector.

I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and as such adhere to their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy (www.bacp.co.uk ) including boundaries around confidentiality. I am subject to their professional conduct procedure.

Fees

It is important to feel comfortable with your counsellor and so I offer an initial free half hour session so that you get a sense of what it is like to work with me.  During this time we can briefly explore what you require from counselling and you can raise any queries you may have. 

Sessions will normally be charged at £30 per hour.

Sessions for students in full-time education and trainee counsellors will normally be charged at £25.00 per hour.

I have a limited number of concessionary places at a negotiable rate to accommodate those who might have difficulty in meeting these fees.
