About me
Welcome, how can I help? Maybe it’s a need to share a trouble or worry from daily life, deal with stress, anxiety, trauma or even consider anger management for example. Maybe it’s a case of just making sense of who you are or what you need from a deeper place within your being.
I offer a calm, safe and confidential space to explore and unfold your life experiences and relationships, seeing you as a unique individual with meaning, purpose and potential. We can explore the possibilities, goals and aspirations as well as everyday struggles, blocks, defences and difficult feelings and emotions which, may be part of you.
Often counselling and therapy is sought at a crisis point in life or when times present themselves as confused uncertain or just difficult. I would be happy to have a conversation with you to initially explore whether we could work together and if I can offer the support and help your looking for. This might be on a short or longer term basis.
I currently work with individual people, aged 18+, face to face, remote video platforms such as “Zoom” and telephone. I also offer walk and talk therapy starting at my home location.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapeutic therapist registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
I trained and graduated from the Psychosynthesis Trust in London and have undertaken further studies with Babette Rothchild, an author, teacher and trainer specialising in the field of trauma and PTSD since the early 1990's. I have a particular interest in groups and also studied with the Institute of Group Analysis (IGA) based in Oxford to offer group therapy going forward.
I have had a private practice, working from Chilton in South Oxon with rooms also available in Wantage town centre with Abingdon, Didcot and Wallingford clustered within a 20 minute car journey time, for the last 5 years.
I am also qualified as a clinical supervisor through a UKCP accredited course with the Psychosynthesis Trust in London and offer supervision to other trainee and trained therapists and health professionals.
