About me and my therapy practice
I am able to offer face to face sessions 10am-3pm, or video and telephone sessions at most times.
I am an Accredited and experienced therapist and describe my approach as down to earth and practical. I have been described as a ‘safe pair of hands’ and creating a safe place to help you consider whatever concerns you, is a priority for me.
Feeling safe is core to anyone's honest exploration of what is difficult. Honest exploration enables us to gain an evidenced based understanding of ourselves, in turn giving us a new perspective on solutions.
I have previously worked for named organisations, including the NHS delivering e.g. specialist trauma therapy, therapy for anxiety and depression, working with chronic illness and cancer diagnosis. I have worked with both adults and children.
Practice description
I work from my country home, sometimes using the setting therapeutically. My training draws on different theoretical approaches, but at the core I understand it is the relationship we have with ourselves and the world around us that is key. We are all unique and I work with the individual, using my collective knowledge to tailor an approach that best supports you to address your issues.
I am fully compliant with professional regulatory requirements and all my work is supervised in accordance with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
