About me and my practice

My aim as a counsellor is to help you explore whatever difficulties you may be experiencing. My reflective and confidential practice provides a warm empathic understanding and non-judgemental space where you can gently explore ways to bring meaning, understanding, awareness and hope into your life. I am a very thoughtful and warm counsellor and have worked with a wide range of clients, men,women, young people, children, couples and families. By gentle exploration I work to support you through counselling to make sense, find meaning and to encourage ways to understand and move you positively forward. My counselling practice provides professional qualified interventions that deal with many problems. I am a fully qualified counsellor with a person-centred background, and I work in an integrative way bringing a variety of counselling approaches together that suit the needs of individual clients. As well as running my own private practice, I work in public health and charity settings. I have a solid background working in a secondary and Sixth Form school counselling students. I also work for YCT (Young Concern Trust) counselling children and young adults. I am a fully qualified Clinical Supervisor.I offer 50 minute one to one counselling on a short or long term basis. I regularly review our work together to make sure you are getting what you need out of the therapeutic process. I offer an initial 30 minute consultation free of charge which will give us the opportunity to explore how you would like us to work together and what you hope to achieve out of counselling. I am fully insured and have regular supervision. I hold an enhanced DBS certificate. I have full public liability insurance. I attend regular CPD (continual professional development) training courses.
