I am a fully qualified and BACP registered integrative counsellor with my core approach being Person Centred. Working with LGBTQIA+, Trauma and bereavement as well as other life stresses.

 This means that I work to understand your experience from your perspective. I will gently enquire about what is troubling you and support you to coming to a conclusion about how you would like to resolve your issues.

My aim is to provide a safe, open and compassionate space. The idea of therapy is for you to be able to express yourself and feel no judgement as we work through the issues that bring you to counselling. Together we will look at your concerns, thoughts and feelings. We will look at what brings you to counselling and how you think you can resolve your issues. I will incorporate techniques from other therapies to support you and this can be done in my office, outside or online … whichever is best for you.

As an integrative counsellor I will also use techniques from other approaches to help you from time to time. These techniques are selected with you in mind, to help further your empowerment.

I offer both online and face-to-face sessions in future.

I operate on both a block booking and  session by session basis to give you the greatest flexibility. 

I offer a free 20 minute consultation which can be booked via my website. Once booked I will send an Online working agreement to you. In the consultation we will discuss what brings you to counselling and any questions you may have about the process.

I am available in person 16:30 - 19:00 Tuesday and Thursday.

Online 16:30 - 19:00 Monday and Wednesday

Both online and in person 09:00 - 13:00 on a Saturday

With my experience as an integrative therapist using various therapeutic modalities, I offer a supportive and enriching space for you to enhance your skills, knowledgeable and a safe space to reflect on your practice.

The model of supervision I use is Hawkins and Shohet’s 7 Eyed Supervision Model which allows for a holistic view of all relationships that will be present within supervision.

I have attained my CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling as well as Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Supervision.

I run well-being support in a government department during the day but can still be contactable. 

I also maintain a small private practice with LGBTQIA clients and supplying therapy for those who may be struggling in their relationships. I have extensive knowledge and experience of supporting bereaved clients and people with neurodivergence in their life.

I usually offer a free of charge initial 20 minute meeting to discuss how we would work together also to get an idea of what you would like from supervision. I also like to take the opportunity to discover what your previous experiences of supervision may have been like.
