I am  a BACP accredited counsellor & UKCP registered psychotherapist who works with both Adults, Parents & Young People.   I have been in private practice for over 15 years.

1.Initial Free Telephone Consultation

Contact me for an initial consultation by phone, email, text message or the contact field on the website. I will arrange a convenient time with you to have a 15 minute telephone consultation to discuss what you are looking for and what I can offer you. If I think I can offer you what you need based on our discussion we will look to making an assessment appointment.

2.The Assessment Appointment

The aim of this appointment is to get a good sense as to your main areas of difficulty, any past experiences that may be contributing to this and what your goals for therapy would be. If we jointly determine that therapy would be helpful we will commence sessions.

3.Ongoing Therapy Appointments

I will endeavour to find a time that is convenient for you for ongoing sessions on a weekly basis. We will complete a therapy contract so that we both sign up to the same agreement in terms of when we will meet, the cancellation policy and how to pay for ongoing sessions.

I supervise work with both adults and young people & children.

I believe passionately in the benefits of supervision and it has always been an integral part of my own practice as a therapist and supervisor. 

My experience includes offering individual and group supervision to both trainees and qualified therapists. I use the 7-Eyed Model of supervision as a basis for looking at the different dynamics that may be at play. 

For me supervision is a collaborative and creative endeavour. Just like the therapeutic relationship it is based on trust, reflection and exploration.

My supervision training  of a Diploma & Certificate was completed at Metanoia Institute. 

We can discuss the nature of your practice and how you would like our supervisory relationship to work.
