Email meAbout me
Looking for a professional to work with and explore what is going on for you can be daunting, I can help.
Are you looking for someone in your corner, with a gentle presence and warmth to accompany you while you figure out that which means a lot to you?
Clients I work with have experienced loss and bereavement, depression, anxiety and stress, illness, domestic abuse and trauma/PTSD. Although the therapy can sometimes be tough, clients have reported during and after sessions feeling hope, a future and opportunities, which previously they did not.
How I work
I work in an Integrative way – this means I call on Person Centred, Transactional Analysis and Gestalt theory and techniques to help you progress in your journey.
What this means for you is that I don’t believe “one size fits all” and will tailor the sessions to you and your needs. This can include working creatively – don’t panic, I’m not expecting Picasso!
If you would like to find out more, call or send me an email to arrange an initial 10 – 15 minute chat to see if we could work together. I want you to feel confident that you are working with the right person for you.
If you are not able to call or email me, feel free to send a text and we can book in an initial 10 minute conversation.
Training, qualifications & experience
My work in Counselling has been based in charities and progressed through to private practice. The charities I have worked for are Counselling Plus, Cruse Bereavement Care and Fegans. I have worked in a 1:1 setting and groups.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, one of the leading professional organisations in the U.K.
I hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from Wealden Psychology Institute (Psychotherapy and Counselling) and have taken further courses in Couples Counselling and specialise in Trauma Therapy with a Post Graduate Diploma in Trauma Therapy from NAOS Institute in London.
I undertake regular Continuing Professional Development. The most recent course undertaken to compliment the trauma therapy is the Rapid Rewind Technique.
