About me and my therapy practice

My background is in the area of psychology and mental health. My approach to counselling is integrative. I use a blend of several methods and theories to support clients through their difficulties. This includes person-centred therapy, attachment, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and compassion focused therapy.

I aim to help clients develop an understanding of how their problem came about in order to settle on an appropriate way forward from which people will derive long lasting benefit.

Experience

I am qualified to work with young people and adults with any problem. I work with individual clients from various age groups and ethnic backgrounds. I provide a non-judgmental, confidential and empathic service for many of life's problems. For example, depression, anxiety, OCD, abuse, trauma, anger management, bereavement, eating difficulties, low self-esteem, self-harm, postnatal depression, stress, sexual problems, addictions and relationship issues.

I have a certificate in supervision and group supervision (BPS approved). 

I am an experienced supervisor working with individuals or groups. I have experience of working with issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, bereavement and many other common issues. I have supervised counsellors in the voluntary sector, counsellors in training and counsellors in private practice.

I work using an integrative approach, incorporating CBT, person centred and attachment theory. 

I hold an MSc (with distinction) in integrative counselling and psychotherapy, a certificate in supervision and a certificate in couples counselling.
