About me

Introduction:

Most of us find there are times in our lives when we need some help. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, confused or low about issues in your life and not sure of where to turn. Finding the sort of help that will be right for you can also feel daunting. I offer an initial consultation where we can explore together what brings you to counselling and whether the sort of counselling I offer is right for you.

I work in a way which is confidential, thoughtful and professional. I  am trained in the psychodynamic approach. This is a long established method of helping with a wide range of issues many of which are listed on this profile, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, OCD, relationship issues, bereavement and loss in all its forms.

How Counselling can help:

By coming to a weekly session you give yourself the time and space to think and talk about whatever is troubling you with someone who is trained to listen and support you.

We will work together as you gain insight and understand yourself better. This can help you make new and better choices for yourself and your relationships.

How you can find out if counselling is for you:

If you would like to find out more and would like to talk to me in confidence about how I may be able to help, please send me an email and we can organise a convenient time to talk.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold B.A (Hons) M.A and PGCE qualifications. I have a Psychodynamic Counselling Diploma from Wessex Counselling and Psychotherapy, and I am a registered member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). I am fully insured and hold a current Government Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate.

I abide by the Ethical Guidelines set out by the BPC for Good Practice in Counselling and I participate regularly in Ongoing Professional Development.

In addition to private practice, I also work on a voluntary basis for a not for profit counselling organisation.

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
