About me
What to expect within Adults and Adolescents Counselling.
The most important part of the therapy is often the relationship between therapist and client and it is important that you feel comfortable and trust your instincts when choosing someone to talk to. I offer the core conditions in counselling, meaning I will provide a safe, confidential place to explore your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental and accepting environment.
Short and long term therapy are available for individual and couples. My style of counselling is integrative, meaning I draw on different counselling theories tailoring the sessions to the clients needs.
I also offer Coaching, these sessions are more direct and solution focused. Allowing you to explore and find different coping skills.
Please visit my website for more information.
My Practice is based at my home address, in a peaceful summerhouse at the bottom of the garden.
What to expect within Children's and adolescent's Counselling.
My Certificate in Counseling Children through the Charity Place2Be means I am qualified to use different techniques such as, Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy and Art Therapy. All my sessions are Child-lead meaning I see us as equals and value the thoughts, feelings and experiences your child may bring to the therapeutic process.
I offer a wide range of art and play materials including paints, clay, puppets, play figures, masks and sand. Children may use their time in any way they like, as long as the space remains safe. I will follow their lead and communicate with them via the material they have chosen, whatever it may be, including talking, playing or silence.
Working with teenagers, I allow them a safe space to work through challenges, thoughts and feelings. Being a teenager can be a challenging time in the world we live in, by giving them a space to feel heard and excepted, this can empower them and make them feel comfortable in themselves and their suroundings.
Please be aware that I do not have a waiting room. I hold a full DBS, follow the Child Protection regulations and attend regular safeguarding courses.
We will have an initial assessment session of 50 minutes, in which we can explore whether what I offer is appropriate for you or your child.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (registration number 152552).

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
