Profile

"Wherever you go, go with all your heart" is a quote taken from my website www.cleverconversations.org and along with my sense of humour probably sums up who I am. You may be reading this profile because you are worrying about something, have a situation you cant resolve or just want to someone to listen to you.  The profile I have written below is brief and if you want to know more about my practice to decide if we can work together please get in touch.
 
I have over 20 years experience as a qualified counsellor working with individuals, couples and groups. My counselling practice is based on a humanistic approach and I am able to integrate other approaches, including CBT, into my work according to the needs of each client.

I am available for short-term and long-term work, the number of sessions being determined at any point in the counselling by the client.  Some clients enter counselling because they want to explore unresolved issues and others because they feel 'stuck' in their lives.  It is possible for the counsellor and client to work creatively towards the desired outcome and the client will choose if this process is through oral, written or art from.

Often clients seek more useful ways to communicate and want to be more assertive, confident, decisive or to deal with their anger. The client is able to design their own package with the flexibility to change it as the work progresses.

I have 20 years experience of managing a nationally acclaimed project that works with adults involved in prostitution and with sexually exploited children and young people. Currently I am the Vice Chair of the National Working Group for Sexually Exploited Children and Young People (NWG), a trainer and consultant.

I supervise trainee and qualified counsellors and some of this work involves supervising counsellors that work in schools or other locations with young people.
