About me and my therapy practice
I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor with 28 years experience in this field. I am a genuine and warm person and approach my clients in an empathic and non judgemental way.
My humorous down to earth nature is creative , solid and challenging when needed. I care very much about people's growth.
I am committed to supporting others through times of pain and transition. Alongside my private practice I have worked in a GP Surgery for 12 years plus a Domestic Violence refuge
I have additional qualifications and am experienced in working in-depth with males and females who have been sexually physically and emotionally abused in childhood.
My work also includes working with males or females who have been sexually attacked in adult hood.
I am very experienced in working with trauma and PTSD .
I believe everyone is unique and individual and therefore I adapt my working style to suit the individual.
Always feel free to ring for an informal discussion. I may not have any appointments avl but this changes all the time . I may not be the right person for you but I will always try to direct you to the right person.
A journey of a thousand miles always starts with the first step.
