MBACP, ADV Dip Counselling BA (Hons) Psychology, Psychotherapist/Counsellor, Diploma Counselling Supervision Dip Sup

I offer an empathetic, and personal service working individually with clients to explore their issues and difficulties, working with people from diverse backgrounds, with a wide range of emotional challenges. Therapy provides a secure and confidential space to talk about what is troubling you, enabling you to explore your issues in whichever way suits you.

As integrative therapist I have experience of working in different modalities, humanistic, existential and psychodynamic, the focus, however, remains on you and the issues you wish to bring.

I offer a space to explore meanings and make connections, to enable understanding, this in itself can promote change, sometimes deep intrapersonal change, and learning. I offer short term or fixed contracts or longer more open-ended therapy for more complex issues.

Experience

My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, relationship/interrelation, anger, Bullying, Divorce/Separation, Loneliness, Neurodiversity, Self-Esteem, Phobias, unemployment, Sexual and gender Identity, shame, and Guilt.

This includes working with issues associated with Abuse, Trauma, loss, bereavement, marital issues, life transitions, when young or older, work-related stress and life changes. I also work with people who are neurodiverse, including ASD and ADHD

I have worked with people who have lost their purpose and direction in life, this can happen when young or past retirement, triggered perhaps by change, loss, or grief.

Part of my training was with the NHS Youth working with young people and adolescents. I also have experience in issues around the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol.

I am also a qualified counselling supervisor offering supervision either face to face or online
