Profile
I have worked as a Counsellor, and Supervisor since 1988 and have extensive experience in the NHS, running a counselling service in a busy London GP surgery and working in Hospitals in London and Gloucestershire. Along side my NHS work I have maintained a Private Practice.
People come to counselling for many reasons. Maybe you are unhappy in your personal life? Perhaps a recent event, a bereavement, crisis in your family or at work or in your relationship. You may be wondering how to make it through this time in your life. Wondering what you will do next?
Perhaps you feel stuck unable to make the life you want. Maybe you are working in a tough environment? Have lots to juggle? Difficult people to work with or for, or difficult people to manage? Feel stressed? Perhaps you are feeling the effects of the recession and the cuts, facing uncertainty and redundancy?
Maybe you struggle with a lack of confidence, depression or finding the right career or friends. There are many reasons for such feelings, talking therapies and hypnotherapy can help.
Often there is some kind of traumatic event which is not always recognised as such. Trauma is often seen as a large event, such as soldiers in war situations, however as well as these extreme situations there are many people who have been effected traumatically by bullying at school. EMDR is a very effective therapy for trauma, depression and phobias.
It can be difficult to decide who is the right therapist for you, one of the best ways is just to pick up the phone and have a chat. Please feel free to call for a free telephone consultation.
I offer therapy, counselling, coaching, hypnotherapy, mentoring and supervision.
I provide an environment in which you can talk about anything which needs talking about without being judged.
I work with individuals on personal or work related issues building confidence and creativity, reducing anxiety and phobias. I bring an approach which draws on many different techniques including eco-psycology, fitting the therapy to the individual.
I am trained in systemic constellation therapy, whether we are stuck, blocked, lost, depressed or anxious, we are doing and feeling all of this in relationship to other people or activities, taking a systemic view can bring unexpected insights and surprising solutions.
I prefer to establish a relationship first but after an appropriate number of sessions, which may vary from person to person, I am happy to offer telephone sessions in conjunction with face to face or possibly instead of, if this is more convenient for you.
In London I work in Central London, nearest tube stations Oxford Circus, Regents Park, Baker Street and Great Portland Street.
In Gloucestershire I work in a particular beautiful valley which feels very rural while being easy to reach from the A46, M4 and M5.
