About me

My journey to become a counsellor started whilst I was a flight attendant for an American Airline. As I speak 4 languages, and had studied Psychology at College I was able to help the new girls who were nervous and anxious about starting their new careers. This was my first real insight into peoples psyche, their different perceptions of situations, in fact their uniqueness. It is because of this that I chose the school of Integrative Counselling which applies itself well to this uniqueness. I decided around 1992 to train as a counsellor as I felt that my qualities of empathy, good understanding of the Human Psyche as well as being non-judgemental and open minded may be of value.

My personality is friendly, empathic, non-judgemental.

I feel that a client would benefit from my work and life experiences underpinned by different schools of counselling, as well a real wish to understand the presenting problem.

I see clients at home in a self-contained office, tastefully decorated and in pleasant, peaceful surroundings, there is ample parking space available.

I also offer counselling via email, at a pre-arranged time: 15/30/60 minutes slots available.

Training, qualifications & experience

My qualifications are:

Diploma in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy, Diploma in Stress Management and Couple Counselling.

In 1997 I graduated with a B-tec HND in Integrative Counselling.

Diploma with distinction in CBT.

I am an accredited Member of The Counselling Society.
I am a Member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and adhere to their code of ethics.

I am on an accredited Register that has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority, The accredited register scheme was set up by the Government to improve standards and safety for the benefit of the public.

I am also CCC registered and an affiliate of BUPA/PEC, EAR /Workplace Options and EAP.
I was the counselling psychologist of Heathfield St. Marys` School in Ascot ( a boarding school for young ladies between the ages of 11 and 18)from March 2000 until July 2014.
I hold a Professional Certificate in E.F.T. (Emotional Freedom Techniques)  and I am entitled to use the style "E.F.T. Practitioner"
My languages are: English, French, German, Luxembourg (not much call for the latter!)

As well as working with general counselling issues I work extensively with relationship/ couple counselling and anger/stress management. I am highly qualified in all of these areas.

I feel that a good knowledge of theory coupled with life and work experience marry together to create a safe environment to explore most issues that a client may present.
