Compass Point Counselling
I am a counsellor and psychodynamic therapist with many years experience of working with adults of all ages and with couples. I am also a qualified and experienced psychodynamic supervisor for counsellors and other professionals.
I work in a light, pleasant, private consulting room in Ross on Wye. I provide a calm, welcoming, confidential space where we can discuss and explore the issues that have brought you to counselling.
During our first meeting we will decide on the best way for us to work together, and whether you would like to proceed with counselling sessions. If you decide you would like to work with me, we will meet weekly at a regular agreed time.
If you would like to arrange to see me for an initial assessment session, please phone me on the number above, or email me. If I am not able to answer, please leave a message in confidence and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
I am also able to provide home visits for clients who have mobility issues - please contact me for further information.
Training, qualifications & experience
Working with Individuals and Couples
I started working in Mental Health in the NHS in 1995, and bring a depth of knowledge and experience to my counselling work. I trained in psychodynamic counselling with individual adults at Gloucestershire Counselling Service (GCS), the largest counselling provider in Gloucestershire, and also completed their Associate course for qualified counsellors and therapists. The training was accredited by the Westminster Pastoral Foundation (WPF) and the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). Post-qualifying I undertook further training in short-term solution-focused therapy, and in Couples Therapy at GCS provided by psychotherapists from the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust and Severnside Institute for Psychotherapy.
I currently provide both open-ended and time-limited counselling for individual adults and couples. I have had the privilege of working with many different individuals and couples who have brought a vast range of issues to be explored in counselling. I participate regularly in CPD, and have special interests in couples work, infertility and working with older people.
