About me
COVID-19: I offer telephone and online services.
I am a Senior Accredited Therapist with the National Counselling Society and Registered with the Professional Standards Authority. I have worked as a therapist with clients who have faced many and varied personal difficulties (see areas of work) for over twenty years. As a private practitioner, I work with clients online in a gentle, respectful and professional manner. I pride myself in always striving to behave in a way that is congruent with my integrity, offering individuals the opportunity to explore any difficulties they might be experiencing. The work at Atlantic Counselling Cornwall allows for our work together to unfold at a pace that is suitable for you in an empathetic, warm and non-judgemental way.
I also supervise other counsellors and therapists in their work with clients and have taught many other counsellors and therapists to qualification, both at colleges and universities.
In addition, I have worked with people who want to better manage their eating and increase their level of daily activity but find it difficult to do so, and with elite athletes, including professional footballers, national and international athletes within various sports working with the human aspects of individuals often neglected at elite sport level. I began my professional life as a Physical Training Instructor in the Army, and so have seen human behaviour and performance under the most extreme of conditions. In addition, I have represented the BPS at governmental level, attending cross party meetings on obesity and advising on NICE guidelines accordingly. I achieved a First Class Honours Degree in Psychology at the University of Kent and immediately followed this with a PhD in Psychology. I have trained many counsellors to degree and Masters level. I also run CPD courses for qualified counsellors.
