About me and my therapy practice
I am a person centered, integrative counsellor, qualified to Masters level to help young people from 4 to 24. I use a variety of techniques dependant on the needs and preferences of my clients. Creative therapies are very helpful for all my clients when words are difficult and these include, art, play, sand tray, crafts, games, mono drama, empty chair techniques. Some clients prefer to talk and that's also fine, whatever feels most comfortable. I am in Cheshire and Northamptonshire and can provide home visits, or online.

About me and my therapy practice
I am an integrative person centered counsellor for children and young people from age 4 to 24.
I use a variety of techniques such as; art, crafting, sand tray, puppets, drama, Gestalt, games and talking.
As a person centered counsellor I work with the clients needs and in the belief the client can find their own solutions working therapeutically in my sessions
Practice description
For younger clients I use play and art to allow children to show me how they feel and how their world is for them. Some things are too difficult or painful to expression in words for any age and I offer an alternative to talking. Empty chair work is helpful when family or friends are part of their concern or anxiety and mono drama is equally helpful to bring others into the room.
My first session
My first session is free and usually lasts around 30 minutes. This gives the client an idea of what I can offer and allows the client to see if they feel they can work with me. Equally it gives me a chance to see if I am the right therapist and if I can offer the help they need
