Profile
Thank you for taking time to look at my profile. I am committed to offer a supportive, confidential, peaceful environment, where you can come and talk to me about your problems and concerns. People are unique individuals, and you will decide for yourself, in your own time, what changes you wish to make to your life.
Some people do come to counselling with a specific problem which has been concerning them. it is possible to discover in a relatively short time, that speaking with a trained, experienced, empathic person can help. You can clarify your thinking, develop new ways of behaving, learn to cope with difficulties and begin to feel differently about yourself, other people, and life in general.
Other people may not be fully aware of what has been troubling them and so decide they want to take a longer-term commitment, to become aware of, and resolve, underlying causes that originally created the problems. Psychotherapy provides people with an opportunity to identify these causes. During this process you can update less-than-helpful beliefs, behaviours and feelings that have been restricting your life. Such changes can benefit by expanding your sense of peace, well-being, self-confidence, self-awareness and self-acceptance.
I offer caring support and will listen carefully to what you say. I can assist you to discover the cause of your problem. When necessary I can share my knowledge and skills to support your personal development. I will provide encouragement as you make the changes you wish to make to your life.
You are most welcome to contact me personally, to take some time to discuss your problem and book an appointment. I look forward to speaking with you.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
One of the main reasons I became a therapist is that I believe people can change and grow. I love being part of the process of change and growth. Sometimes even making a small change or difference, can have a really positive impact on your life. I realise that people feel safe with me and the relationship we develop provides a well-grounded base for them to explore, if they are willing, any problems that have been troubling them.
I started my own therapy business in 2004 and this has been steadily developing over time.
In 2010 I completed four inspiring years of Advanced Clinical Psychotherapy Training.
Since returning to live in England in 1994, I have really enjoyed owning and running two retail businesses with my husband. I am still actively involved with both teams, although the day-to-day running is now in the capable hands of Managers. My role today is to offer caring support to them. I have also enjoyed offering Personal Development Training at local Further Education establishments; as well as providing Relaxation classes and Confidence and Well- Being Coaching for private clients. For many years I have also provided support and coaching for people who care for people with disabilities, or are terminally ill. I integrate hypnotherapy into many aspects of my work.
Other qualifications and experience I have are:
Completion of four years Advanced Clinical Psychotherapy Training
Postgraduate Foundation Certificate in Transactional Analysis
The Berne Institute Counselling Skills Certificate
R.S.A. Counselling Skills certificate
Central access Network Advanced Personal Development Certificate
