About me

Clinical Experience in Counselling and Psychotherapy

 Hello. Thankyou for taking the time to view my profile.

I have been working as an individual and group therapist for 35 years, both in the private sector and in the NHS.  I have considerable experience of working with people with a variety of emotional, relationship and identity problems.  I provide both short term counselling and long term psychotherapy.  As well as experience, I am empathic and approachable and I am available to help you through the challenges you are experiencing.


What to expect during Counselling, Psychotherapy

The first session is a chance for us to meet, for you to tell me what has brought you to therapy and for me to let you know the way I work.  We can then decide if we feel we can work together (with no obligation to continue).

I use a combination  of approaches in my work, drawing on a variety of interests, training and experience.  The main theoretical grounding for my work is Transactional Analysis (TA).  This approach includes us exploring and naming what you want from therapy.  This is known as a contract or aims for therapy and can be specific and/or open depending on what you need.  We can then work towards this contract in a collaborative way and over time you can let me know if what we are doing together is what you are needing.

For example, the contract might be a desire to process a significant loss, a greater understanding of the self or help in improving life through making healthy choices.  This can include getting support to understand and change unhealthy behaviour patterns and to get to know and accept who you truly are.  Depending on your needs the work can range from short term solution focused counselling, (drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy aspects of my training) to long term psychodynamic orientated work.

I work with an underlying belief that people are essentially ok and that everyone has value, worth and dignity.  In psychotherapy I see there is a focus on three areas: the influences of the past, understanding and dealing with current life experiences and what is happening between us as another way of understanding other relationships.

I see people weekly and the length of counselling or psychotherapy depends very much on the client and their needs. 


Additional Information

As well as practicing as a psychotherapist I am also a qualified dramatherapist with over thirty years experience working with individuals and groups.  From this training, and if the client is interested, I am experienced in working with your creativity,  your story, metaphor, and the exploration of dreams.
