About me
I have been working as a counsellor since 1992. My core model is Gestalt. However, I have also trained in a variety of counselling models including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), integrative art therapy and sensorimotor psychotherapy.
My intention is to support you with empathy and compassion in order to understand the issues that are affecting you and how you would like to approach your life moving forward. I will not tell you what to do but will provide you with a space where you can reflect on what is happening in your life, deepen awareness and understanding explore choices and make appropriate changes.
An initial meeting provides an opportunity for us to talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you would like to achieve, and what you hope to be different in your life. I offer short and longer-term therapy.

Further information
I am a qualified (Diploma in Clinical Supervision) and experienced supervisor. I have provided supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors/psychotherapists in various settings. This includes private practice, the third sector and the NHS. statutory sectors sector. I offer both individual and group supervision.
I believe that supervision is central to the development and maintenance of ethical practice. It provides a reflective space for practitioners to review and develop their work and plays an important role in counsellor self-care. I have an integrative and relational approach to supervision and I endeavour to provide an environment in which counsellors feel both supported and challenged in their work.
For an initial meeting I charge £25 and thereafter fees are £60 per 50 minute session.
