About me and my therapy practice
With more than 30 years post-qualifying experience covering brief, medium and on-going work I offer my clients a wide breadth of experience and knowledge. I am dedicated to offering the highest level of professional practice and have a genuine compassion and interest in people and the 'human condition' with a natural desire to support and facilitate others to live their lives effectively and resourcefully. During this time I have gained the greatest respect for the individual's capacity and potential for self-determination.
I have extensive experience of working with family and relationship issues. Long term experience working for a University, an FE college as a staff counsellor, also in Primary Care, Social Services and regularly undertake work for several Employee Assistance Programmes. I am also registered with BUPA.
My working model is primarily psychodynamic, underpinned by an integrative approach drawing on various trainings and experience including psychoanalytic. Additionally, I am a qualified assessor- I will use these skills in my own assessments as well taking into consideration the needs of the individual client.
I am committed to ongoing Continuing Professional Development.
I work in Exeter offering time-limited or on-going counselling support. I am data protection reg. and hold a current 'Enhanced DBS' certificate.
My first session
After usually a brief phone conversation.
I make a one off charge of £58 for the first consultation session which is usually 60- 75 mins and before meeting will send an invitation to fill in a simple form with some basic details which I find helps with the initial assessment meeting, which is a chance for us both to see and agree if we would like to work together.
