About me
I am an Integrative Counsellor and Supervisor with experience of working with clients who have experienced a range of issues including: trauma, abuse, bereavement, relationship issues, anxiety, stress and depression. I see clients in person at rooms based in Tavistock, Devon as well as delivering online and telephone sessions.
I work in a variety of ways to suit the needs of my clients, offering a range of therapeutic support from short term focussed therapy to long term psychotherapy. My goal is to ensure that the way I work responds to your individual needs.
The foundation of my work is the development of a therapeutic relationship. Through this relationship and within the boundaries of safe and ethical practice I find I am well positioned to offer all clients an empathic and non-judgemental response to the difficulties they are experiencing. This foundation supports therapeutic progress and offers a space where implicit barriers can be challenged and overcome.
