Welcome to my page, I am an  experienced counsellor/supervisor who over the years has worked with adults, children and young people. I work in schools/children's services and combine room based sessions with equine assisted therapy if desired. 

I describe myself as an integrative counsellor combining a range of therapies, the person centred approach at my core, CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and animal assisted therapies with a herd of ponies, Roxy the chocolate lab and Doris the cat.

CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) is wonderful at helping  clients of all ages work through issues such as anxiety, eating disorders, ocd's and anger. 

We look at your needs and then  together looking at how I can best support you or your child, families or groups, either indoors traditional talk therapy, outdoors with the herd or integrating different approaches.

I am a certified practitioner, offering eagala.org (Equine Assisted Growth & Learning Association) sessions. The eagala model is a team approach and is very popular with groups of all ages.

I describe myself as an integrative counsellor combining a range of therapies including CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy)  including mindfulness/experiential and solution focused brief therapy .          

I work in a very individual way with both adults and young people and as a counsellor I offer you my many years of experience/knowledge honesty and respect while we explore issues you feel you would like to bring to the counselling.

One fit does not fit all and so we work together looking at how I can best support you or your child, families or groups, either indoors traditional talk therapy, or outdoors with the herd.

I am a certified practitioner, offering eagala.org (Equine Assisted Growth & Learning Association) sessions. The eagala model is a team approach. 

The focus is on and learning specific skills as defined by the individual , family or group, such as improved emotional interactions for autistic young people, communications for families or achieving a personal goal for an individual,

Equine assisted therapy is a powerful and effective therapeutic approach that addresses a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety , depression, relationship problems, communication needs and behavioural issues (anger management) and grief recovery.

You will normally attend one  counselling session per week on a day and time that is convenient to you. Its important to wear suitable foot wear and dress for the weather if combining equine assisted counselling with room based.

These sessions will last up to an hour and reviews will take place every six weeks. At each review, i will discuss progress and evaluate and identify the need for further counselling this could be outdoors with the ponies or combined CBT for example followed up with half a session with the ponies. 

These combined equine counselling sessions work well for children and young people who's attention span for room based sessions can be a challenge.

If you cannot attend arranged sessions, I  would ask that you leave a message on 07870639770.  I  will then contact you to re-arrange a session.

 Missed appointments will be charged for, please notify me at least a day in advance of non attendance.
