About me and my therapy practice
Welcome to my page. I am a counselling psychotherapist with 10 years experience offering long and short term counselling to adults. I am fully accredited, meeting the BACP’s 'higher standard as a competent, ethical and independent practitioner'.
My areas of expertise include loss and bereavement, trauma, depression, anxiety, low self esteem and helping you find meaning in your life. I am also trained in Rewind Therapy which is very effective for phobias triggered by a specific incident and any type of post traumatic stress.
Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed by life's pressures and difficulties and this can cause problems such as anxiety and depression. Past or present issues can cause emotional turmoil and it can be difficult to make sense of life's puzzle.
I offer a safe, warm, non judgmental environment where you might be able to put some of the pieces back together and hopefully find a way forward.
I work integratively, meaning I can draw on different theories to suit each individual client, their needs and issues. Sessions last 50 minutes and are usually weekly.
I am experienced in working with childhood issues, exploring your early attachment and any childhood trauma. However you may choose to focus on current issues and that’s ok too.
I know from my own experience of therapy that it takes a lot of courage to take that first step, and I will do my best to make you feel settled and comfortable.
I have regular clinical supervision of my work and I am fully insured.
I’m happy to see trainee counsellors at a reduced fee for either counselling or supervision.

ONLINE AND IN PERSON SUPERVISION AVAILABLE
I offer a warm, confidential informative space for my supervisees. I work integratively using person centred and psychodynamic models.
I believe that a good working alliance is important to a supervisory relationship and that openness and honesty are an integral part of it.
I also offer coaching in setting up in private practice. This can either be done alongside supervision or separate to it.
