About me and my therapy practice

Often our anxieties and difficulties can weigh us down and we are unable to find a way forward. Our thoughts and feelings can be confusing and talking to friends and relatives about our concerns may be too difficult. I provide a confidential, safe, respectful and non-judgemental space in which you can explore your difficulties, gain insight and discover a way forward.

I am an experienced BACP Accredited Counsellor and hold an MA in Clinical Counselling. I provide a counselling relationship where you are heard, understood and accepted. This is extremely powerful because it allows you to open up and express all of your emotions, feelings and thoughts. This new awareness and clarity leads to the potential for positive change.

The foundation of my therapeutic work is Person Centred. I firmly believe that we are our own best expert but that sometimes we need a helping hand to find ourselves again.  I also draw on other therapeutic techniques such as CBT, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused Therapy. Since training in EMDR over 5 years ago, much of my work has become trauma focused. 

My specialist areas of interest include Trauma, whether this be a one off incident or prolonged exposure; anxiety and it's management;  and perinatal difficulties such as birth trauma. My research into traumatic birth has been published and a chapter is dedicated to it in "Listening to less heard voices" Editor Peter Gubi. . 

I have counselling experience in a variety of settings - an NHS Staff Counsellor,  a therapist on a Mental Health Social Inclusion Programme and a Counselling Charity. I am an associate for EAP's and hold Healthcare Professional Recognition with Aviva, Aetna, WPA and AXA PPP.

I know that deciding whether counselling is right for you can be daunting, never mind deciding which counsellor is a good match for you. I therefore offer a 20 minute consultation, free of charge, which can help you make your decision. This can take place over the telephone or face to face if you prefer.
