About me
I have twenty-five years of experience as an Integrative Psychotherapist and 15 years offering supervision and training. I offer short and longer-term counselling and psychotherapy to adult clients.
People will seek therapy in times of difficulty and stress, when their ability to manage their emotional life, profession and relationships is stretched and possibly in crisis. Some may have experienced trauma and have been completely overwhelmed.
As an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, I adapt my approach to my clients' needs, drawing on various perspectives to explore within a confidential and safe setting, what may restrict and promote their progress.
I have worked extensively in fostering and post-adoption, in addition to my private practice.
I hold a BA(Hons) in Social Anthropology and S. E. Asian Studies (1986), a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy (2004) and Clinical Supervision (2009) and am a registered member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Embodied Relational Therapy (2006), placing value on body-orientated perspectives in recognition that emotional difficulties may, for example, be felt in the body as tension, lack of energy and motivation. This dual focus allows the body and the mind to be involved in the therapy.
I have levels I, II & III in Eye Movement, Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) a technique developed for working with trauma.
