Online supervision available for trainee and qualified counsellors.  Please message me for further information or to book a free 20 minute, no obligation consultation.

As an experienced and accredited counsellor, I recognise the value and importance of good supervision.

I offer online supervision that allows for structured reflection of your practice and encourages the development of skills, knowledge, awareness and ethical judgement, within a supportive relationship.  I have trained using the Seven-Eyed Supervision Model (Hawkins and Shohet) which can be used with all counselling modalities and welcome enquiries from trainee and qualified counsellors.

I am currently in private practice (Complete Counselling and Supervision) and provide online counselling to young people and adults.  

I have worked within schools and colleges, for the nhs and a number of charities, before setting up in private practice.

Some of the issues I have worked with include:

• Anxiety
• Anger management
• Attachment issues
• Bereavement
• Depression
• Emotional resilience
• Family conflict
• Loss
• Low Mood
• OCD
• Panic attacks
• Perfectionism
• Relationships
• Self-esteem
• Self-harm
• Shame
• Stress
• Trauma

Within our first supervision session, we would use the Seven-Eyed Supervision Model to explore all areas of your practice and identify what you would like from our sessions.

Hello and welcome.  We all need some help in life and I am here to support you and work with you in any areas causing distress. You are not alone. We can work together to understand you and explore your difficulties.  We can strengthen your mental health, using integrative therapy and provide tools to help, all tailored to your individual needs.

I provide warm, empathic, non-judgemental, confidential counselling and walk alongside you on your journey.

You may be a young person or adult experiencing difficulties, or you may be a parent/carer of a young person and feel as if you're struggling to cope. I specialise in counselling young people and adults and would welcome the opportunity to support you at this challenging time.

You may feel anxious, incomplete, under pressure, have low mood, be overwhelmed with thoughts and feelings, or simply feel unable to move forward with your life.  We can work together to explore how you can feel 'complete' and understand your feelings.

I am currently providing online (via Google Meet) counselling sessions for young people (age 16+) and adults.  This platform is safe and secure.

Please contact me or visit my website and we can discuss how counselling may help. I look forward to speaking with you.

I offer:

• A free introductory online session (up to 30 minutes).  This is a no obligation session, where you can ask any questions and find out more about the counselling process and if it's right for you.

• Online sessions (via Google Meet).  A good, reliable internet connection is required.

In addition to being an Accredited Member of the British Association For Counselling and Psychotherapy MBACP (Accred), I have undertaken advanced training in 'counselling children and young people' and trained in 'Walk and Talk' outdoor therapy. I am also a qualified Clinical Supervisor (please see my Supervisor entry for further details).

My experience is primarily in providing online and face-to-face counselling to young people and adults, in educational settings, for the NHS, national charities and through my private practice - Complete Counselling and Supervision.

I use an integrative approach which allows me to tailor the counselling to the individual, and use elements from different counselling approaches, providing a complete counselling service.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is very important to me and I ensure I attend weekly CPD workshops, focusing on mental health areas and difficulties.
