Profile
At some point in the future, when our work together is complete, maybe you will look back and think about how much you've changed, and how pleased you are that you booked that first appointment.
Some areas of your life may be fine but, how do you resolve the areas of your life that are not? Unresolved emotional and psychological issues may appear in the form of unexplained physical symptoms, unhelpful patterns of behaviour or difficulty in relationships
At our initial session, you can tell me about your issues. At the same time, you will be able to find out how I work and we can decide how to proceed. Appointments last for one hour. We will agree a regular weekly time to meet.
Counselling and psychotherapy are about making an investment in yourself to help you to be a more effective and contented person. Counselling deals with short-term immediate issues of more recent origin, while psychotherapy deals with long-term issues which need in-depth processing. I work mainly long-term, giving you the freedom to allow your issues to unravel at your own pace. Genuine and lasting change can take time to emerge.
I am mainly influenced by my ongoing Transactional Analysis training. I also draw from a range of theoretical approaches, including NLP and CBT. I am interested in how our unconscious processes drive us into life situations that present us with conflict, pain and unhappiness. I am also interested in our relationships with ourselves, and with others. I consider how we work together to be as important as that which we work on, with the nature of the therapeutic relationship between us acting as an arena for looking at your relationships in your life.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
I qualified in 1998 with a Diploma in Counselling, and worked as a counsellor in the NHS and, as a University student counsellor, for eight years. I am currently in private practice and am now adding to my skills by studying for a Masters degree in Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute in London. I am a member of the BACP, EATA and IARTA.
Areas of counselling I deal with
- Anxiety
- Bereavement

- Low Self-Confidence

Other areas of counselling I deal with
I also work with less well defined issues which might be characterised by the statement, 'I'm not sure what's wrong but something is not right'.
