About me

I have a practice in  Central Leicester  10 minutes walk from the train station.

I offer one to one therapy both short term and long term for  a wide range of issues. One of the rooms I use has step free access. Accessibility requirements  will be discussed further in my initial response to your query. My approach is relational and person centred. I also work developmentally with an understanding of how our upbringing can impact us lifelong. Our first meeting is always an assessment for us to decide if we can work together effectively. At this assessment, I will ask you about yourself and what brings you to therapy and explain more about myself and how I work, what you can expect from the therapy and the contract you would be entering in to. This first meeting will also be a chance to discuss any specific requirements you may have to make the therapy accessible for you.

I am an experienced therapist and supervisor, qualified to Masters level as an Integrative Psychotherapist and registered with UKCP since 2002. I have worked in a variety of settings as a counsellor including as Head of Counselling at Leicester University and for 12 years as  CEO  of a specialist counselling service . I am also a trainer at  Masters level and a qualified supervisor. I work to both UKCP and BACP ethics.

I offer supervision to individuals and groups for both trainees and qualified therapists and am an Approved Supervisor with Metanoia Training Institute .

Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
