"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change" Carl Rogers. 

I am a Person-Centred Experiential - Counsellor for Depression (PCE-CfD), a NICE approved model, provided within NHS mental health services. The PCE-CfD approach addresses the emotional and intrapersonal issues underlying depression, such as low self-esteem and self-criticism. The therapy helps clients explore their feelings, understand them, and derive new meanings to foster psychological and behavioural change.

I also work in an integrative way, drawing upon my training in Transactional analysis, with a base in Person centred therapy. The approach I use depends on the needs of my client and the issues they might present with. 

Initial Contact:

Following our first email contact, we will arrange a date and time for a 30 min catch up, either by zoom or phone. This session is not chargeable. We can use this time to:

Explore your reasons for seeking counselling.

Explore your possible expectations from counselling.

Discuss practical issues e.g. fees, missed sessions, holidays. All sessions are for 50 minutes and will usually (unless you have an irregular work pattern) be on the same day and time each week.

Discuss any other concerns or queries you might have. 

I currently have availability for online supervision (phone/zoom). My working hours are flexible. 

I am a Person- Centred Experiential counsellor for Depression (PCE-Cfd)- a NICE approved therapy model, provided within NHS Mental health services. It addresses the emotional and intrapersonal issues underlying depression, such as low self-esteem and self-criticism. The therapy helps clients explore their feelings, understand them, and derive new meanings to foster psychological and behavioural change.

I am also certified by the Association for Counselling and  Therapy online (ACTO) to practice remotely. 

I meet with my supervisees regularly - either online (zoom/phone) or in-person, to discuss their work. I am a Person centred counsellor and my practice reflects the ethos of this approach. As a Person centred supervisor, I trust the ability of my supervisees to develop personally and professionally and also trust their experience of their clients and therapeutic relationships. My aim is to offer a space to discuss my supervisee's therapeutic concerns just as a client uses a therapeutic relationship to discuss their personal concerns. In order to do so I encourage mutual trust, understanding, congruence and regular feedback. 

I would like to offer an initial (non chargeable) introductory session for up to 30mins, to understand your expectations from Supervision. I would also use this time to introduce myself as well as discuss my practice with you, to make sure that you have all the information you need to make a decision regarding our work together.
