About me
Each client, brings with them a personal history, set of experiences and issues unique to them. My view is that one size does not fit all in therapeutic work and therefore a tailored approach to your needs is required in order for therapy to be most beneficial. I employ different theoretical approaches to my work, such as Humanistic and Existential, to best meet the needs of each person I meet.
I have experience of being a client in therapy and know how challenging this can sometimes be. Having walked that path myself and seen the work from 'both sides', I believe that this deepens my ability to truly relate to my clients.
If you want to explore working with me then please make contact. There is no obligation, I do not sell sessions in blocks, and offer an initial free meeting if you want to learn more about me, the way I work or Psychotherapy more generally.
My academic background includes studying for a Level 7 Diploma in Psychotherapy over a four year programme in Jersey and France before going on to take a Level 7 Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People.
In addition I teach on a range of degrees and professional Counselling training courses that have Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling at their hearts. For University College Jersey I have lectured on the Psychology with Criminology degree which we launched in 2017 and Child Development for the Childhood Studies degree. I also lectured on the Psychology of Physical Activity for the Sport & Management degree. Professional training includes delivering CPCAB Counselling Courses, Levels 2, 3 and Level 4 Diploma, sharing my love of this empowering vocation with students keen to find their own path as Counsellors.
If you feel ready, please make contact.
Training, qualifications & experience
As well as a degree in Psychology I also hold a Post Graduate Diploma (Masters Level) in Relational Integrative Psychotherapy from the Scarborough Counselling and Psychotherapy Training Institute and a Post Qualifying Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People, Level 7.
I have also undertaken training with Zoe Lodrick, New Pathways and Christiane Sanderson to enable me to work with survivors of rape and sexual abuse. I was a volunteer therapist with Jersey Action against Rape (JAAR) for five years from its launch in 2015.
