About me

I place great emphasis upon a good therapeutic relationship between both practitioner and client as the main basis of our sessions together. Trust, honesty and congruence being key components.

Drawing on years of experience working with adults and children in many varied settings, I feel I can offer you a safe space that can allow you to process your inner thoughts and make sense of feelings and emotions that can arise. I work with children and adults covering many areas such as low self esteem, social anxiety, eating disorders along with working with children and parents managing behavioural issues that can often arise.

I am also experienced in working with relationship breakdowns, bereavement and loss covering a range of emotions that can often allow people to feel stuck within themselves or a situation.

Working within an integrative model means that I draw on many modalities to support you.

I work within an integrative model drawing on TA, CBT, mindfulness and psychotherapeutic modalaties throughout therapy. These are all ways of working that we can explore together and agree on before moving forward within therapy revisiting as we work.

Being presented with the right tools at the right time can often facilitate a move forward or a shift in perception. Simply being heard can often be a powerful tool within the therapy room.

Working within a comfortable holistic non clinical setting I also use creative therapy when appropriate and agreed upon, working at a pace that you feel comfortable with. However I do challenge where and when appropriate in order to support you in facilitating change.

I am also trained to work with co-parents in conflict. This work is specialised and myself and a co counsellor will facilitate sessions in order to support parents in conflict who are often within the court process. We can work alongside Cafcas to support and enable a healthy co parenting relationship to support the child. We can also support parents in learning how to better communicate once separated in order to keep the child at the centre.

Training, qualifications & experience

I started out as a complementary therapist 19 years ago moving into teaching therapies and then onto counselling. I have experience working within hospice settings with terminal illness, NHS settings and secondary schools.
I have since added family counselling. Couples and parent support. Working now with families, adults, teenagers and young children.

I work on a one to one basis, I also offer parent and child sessions, family group work, and work one to one with a wide range of ages to support individuals and the family.

Areas of counselling I deal with

        Other areas of counselling I deal with

        I offer support to parents/carers of young children with a range of issues. I work closely with parents offering parent support utelising Adlerian theory.
        The areas we cover in sessions with some of the creative play can be related to issues presented within the school setting as well as problems within the family home such as fears, anxiety, attachment issues, sleep problems and eating problems to name a few.

        I work with teens and young adults experiencing difficulties on many levels.

        I work closely with parents going through relationship breakdown and also offer sessions to single parents and children to look at strengthening communication.
        There is a designated waiting area outside the therapy room for parents to remain on the premises if they so wish.
