Welcome

I understand that choosing a counsellor/therapist is difficult at a time when you are already struggling.

​

I hope that you find enough information about myself and how I work to help you make a decision whether you would like to get in touch.

 

 

About Me

I am an integrative Psychotherapist qualified to Masters level and I have 18 years of experience providing counselling and psychotherapy for individual adults and couples.

​

I work with a number of recognised therapy approaches to support clients, as I do not believe that one approach fits all. Looking at issues from a number of different perspectives leads to a greater depth of understanding and ultimately growth and change. 

​

We will engage in a therapeutic relationship that provides a safe, supportive space for you to be heard, explore your issues, and find/learn new strategies to lead a more fulfilling life.

​

In addition to private practice I have experience in providing high intensity counselling to NHS clients and in providing counselling, support, supervision and training for multiple local and national charities.

 

I take referrals from private individuals and private health insurances (Bupa, Aviva),

 

I am a registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP reg) and work within their ethical guidelines. I hold professional insurance, I am DBS checked, and I am registered with the ICO. 

 

I am on a voluntary register which is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. This scheme is set up by the Government to improve standards and safety for the benefit of the public.

 

 

I offer both individual and couples counselling sessions in-person or via video conferencing.

I also provide  bereavement counselling (including complex bereavement) no matter who died, how they died,when they died, or what the relationship.

A bereavement can have a significant impact on a couple particularly when a child has died.

I supervise trainees from integrative,  relational, and psychodynamic courses.

 

I offer supervision to organisations who provide services in the helping professions (SARAC, Women Centres, Rape Crisis Centres, Emergency Services) in order to reduce the risk of vicarious trauma and burn-out.

​

I offer bespoke training on trauma, vicarious trauma, sexual abuse, bereavement, counselling skills, and relational psychotherapy
