About me
Welcome
Struggling a little bit at the moment? Maybe you just feel that you're losing your way somehow? Or perhaps you know exactly what you want to resolve and that now the time has come for you to try and finally address what it is that is happening for you.
Whatever 'it' may be, simply taking the step of deciding to do something about it is an incredib;y powerful thing to do.
Well done.
My clients come from all walks of life.
Their story unique to them.
There is one thread that is woven throughout all of their stories however..........the need to know.
Whatever the issue -or issues- are that you bring into the room, they will be a part of your wider life. They won't exist in isolation. We will view them as being very much related to the entirety of you, rather than being just one part of your life. In our work together we'll explore your life.......help you to acquire the understanding you seek. Or at least get closer to it.
As we explore your life in its wider context - seeing how one part of it relates to another- you will become aware of things that may previously been out of your awareness. Gone unoticed. Discover things about yourself that have remained out of view, until now.
I work in a Gestalt way, meaning that we deal with your life as it is.
Right now.
Whatever is causing you difficulty will be manifesting itself in some way shape or form, and this is what we'll uncover in our work together, in the safety of the therapeutic space......
Online Counselling Services
For those clients who would like to work with me but live too far away to meet in person, I also see clients online using Google Meet. Very simple to use.
I've never met some of my clients. At least not face-to-face. Some of them have only ever used my online service during our work together. Some of them being long-term clients spanning several years. It is a perfectly suitable medium for therapy.
My location
Kilnwick, a small village between Beverley and Driffield, near to Lund and Lockington
Finally....
I understand that deciding to come for therapy may feel somewhat daunting, however you can be assured of being treated in a professional, sensitive and ethical way.
Feel free to call me and let's have an initial chat.
I look forward to hearing from you.....

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
Research is showing that almost regardless of the model of therapy that a therapist uses in his or her work, it is the person of the therapist him or herself that is the most important factor in the work that is done together. How we relate to one another.
It is in relationship with the therapist that all the work of healing is done.
Having a corporate background and having worked for IBM and HP business partners in the Healthcare and Professional Sports industries, I am well placed to work with professional people; The professional standards that they require and the specific stresses that they contend with.
I also provide Therapeutic Coaching sessions for those clients who wish to avail themselves of that service rather than therapy.
Please feel free to contact me without any obligation whatsoever for an initial discussion about how we may be able to work together. I look forward to hearing from you, and should it transpire that you may require skills other than mine, I will be delighted to suggest colleagues whom I think may be suitable for you to work with.
