Profile

I am a humanistic counsellor who uses an integrative, but largely person centred approach. This means I value you as an individual and offer a non-judgemental, empathic and supportive approach.

I work in a local G.P. surgery and see both NHS and Private clients. I am used to seeing a variety of presenting issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, low self esteem, gender issues, anger management issues, trauma, eating disorders, ocd, bereavement, self harm, addiction, work related and relationship difficulties.

I continue to work at a Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre as I have for the last two years and have a special interest in trauma.

I also work as an Equine Assisted Psychotherapist and manage the Equine Assisted Therapy Centre in South Godstone. Here, I also have a dedicated counselling room where I see clients. Working in the two places gives me and my clients added flexibility. There is ample parking at both locations.

I offer 'Equine Assisted Therapy Experiential Open Mornings' and if you would like further information, please contact me.

Counselling can offer the space for you to come to a greater understanding of yourself, your patterns and your ways of being. This will allow you to make more informed choices and in turn give you a greater sense of well-being.

At the Equine Therapy Centre I am also able to offer a different experience of counselling. Working with an Equine Specialist, I am able to provide a safe therapeutic environment with the extra dimension horses can bring. Because they are unable to understand mixed messages and operate at a deeper level, horses give huge insight into the way we operate within the rest of society. Here, you can safely examine the way you are and the ‘hidden’ messages you are giving. With this new information, the centre is also a unique environment for practising different ways of being and help you to make different choices about your life. There is the added advantage of the instant and rewarding feedback which comes from these gentle beings. Equine Assisted Psychotherapy always conclude with a debriefing session which includes looking at ways that information gained can be used to your benefit in the outside world.
