About me
I am a qualified Systemic Psychotherapist, registered with the UK Council of Psychotherapy (UKCP*), Association of Family Therapy (AFT), and the States of Jersey. I have an MSc in Family Therapy from Southampton University. I am a wife, Mother, and stepmother. I have worked in Jersey and abroad, including five years with the British Forces in Germany and Hong Kong.
I welcome diversity in my practice, working with the LGBTQ community.
Experience
I specialize in relationships that cause unhappiness, anxiety, or depression, including those within families, siblings, friendships, and work colleagues. I am also happy to see people with health concerns or disabilities. I have a background in nursing and health visiting, and I was an approved trainer for the Alzheimer's Society. I am aware of the challenges within a relationship caused by the introduction of children and step-children and times of transition.
To remain registered as a psychotherapist, I must undertake continual professional development and supervision, both of which I am scrupulous about keeping up to date with.
I am aware of the healing effect of nature on the spirit and I am able to offer sessions, in good weather, outside in a peaceful meadow. Joined if you wish by my dog.
Most of my therapy is face-to-face, but I can offer online therapy if being in your own space helps you feel more confident.
As a Family Therapist/psychotherapist, I can see individuals, families, or whoever the client feels is important to them.
Sessions last approximately one hour, and there is no upper limit to the number of sessions, although the average is between 4 and 6.
I see clients on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays either at my Sion address or online via Video Zoom or Skype
The first session is an assessment, during which we decide together if this is a useful way of working for you. If not, I may be able to suggest a more suitable route.
I am the therapeutic consultant for Kairos Arts www.kairosarts.org
I have been a founder member of the Jersey Association for Family Therapy (JAFT)
