My availability is flexible. During a free twenty-minute phone or face-to-face consultation, we can discuss a mutually agreeable time. 

I am mindful some clients do not like talking on the telephone or via zoom; for these clients, I am happy to carry out the initial consultation face-to-face.

Life is challenging and choosing the right therapist may seem like a daunting prospect. Are you overwhelmed by information or confused about who to contact? Let me tell you about myself and how I work:

I am an integrative therapist, working with clients from 11 years+ I work with individuals, couples and families. Being an integrative therapist allows me to concentrate on each individual client and adapt my practice in accordance to their needs. What sits at the heart of each therapeutic encounter is the relationship.

As a natural empath, my background is in the caring profession, having worked with both young people and the elderly. All work undertaken is either face-to-face, online (using zoom), telephone and walk and talk; I have a fondness for nature and for that reason, I offer outside sessions in a mutually convenient destination. 

I have over twenty years of extensive experience in delivering sessions to young people, these are delivered as both individual and groups. These sessions focus on anxiety, body image, anger, neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ and low self-esteem.

During COVID-19, I undertook training in online & phone work enabling me to take my practice online. I regularly partake in CPD workshops focused around a variety of different topics. Examples of recent CPD workshops are:

Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention

Forest Bathing and Mindfulness

LGBTQ+ Awareness

Postpartum Depression

Neurodiversity in the Therapy Room

My work centres around the relationship between myself and my client. I use a combination of CBT, Person centred and Gestalt therapy. I encourage self-awareness and review every six-weeks to ensure you are gaining what you need from your sessions. Appreciating a one-size-fits-all approach is not productive, I will adapt my practice according to your individual needs.

I have two therapy rooms in different locations. I am mindful that not all clients are able to relax within four walls; for that reason, I do offer walk-and-talk sessions amongst nature. I have therapy dogs called Winston and Stanley who accompany us during these sessions if requested.

Similarly, if you are unable to attend sessions due to disability or other reasons, I am happy to come to you (terms are discussed prior to this happening).

After an initial, free of charge consultation, if you feel comfortable and think we can work together you will have your first therapy session. During this session I will ask you a series of assessment questions and go through what you would like to get out of therapy. This is your opportunity to tell me what goals (if any) you have and for you to be able to ask any questions you feel need answering. This allows us to collaboratively create a treatment plan that best serve your therapy needs.

If the session is with a young person (under 18) I will read my safeguarding policy out and ensure the young person and their parent have understood this. If the parent/child feels more comfortable with the parent present, I do allow this during this initial process. 

My working hours are relatively flexible. Sessions will be arranged at a mutually agreeable time and place, during a free of charge twenty minute consultation. 

I am mindful that not all perspective clients like (or are able) to talk on the telephone or via zoom; for these clients, I offer a face-to-face twenty minute consultation.

Life can be challenging and choosing the right therapist may seem like a daunting prospect. Are you overwhelmed by information or confused about who to contact? Let me simplify things and tell you about myself and how I work:

I am a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Accredited  integrative therapist (with a core Gestalt modality);  I  work with clients from 11 years+ I work with individuals, couples and families. Being an Integrative therapist allows me to concentrate on each individual client and adapt my practice in accordance to their needs. What sits at the heart of each therapeutic encounter is the relationship.

As a natural empath, my background is in the caring profession, having worked with both young people and the elderly. All work undertaken is either face-to-face, online (using Zoom), telephone and walk and talk; I have a fondness for nature and for that reason, I offer outside sessions in a mutually convenient destination (with or without my therapy dog); forest bathing and mindfulness is becoming increasingly popular and scientifically proven to aid our mental health. 

I have over twenty years of extensive experience working with young people; sessions offered are individual, couples and groups; group sessions focus on anything from anxiety, body image, anger and low self-esteem. 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I undertook specialist training in online and telephone work enabling me to take my practice online. Moving with the times is important to me and for that reason I regularly partake in CPD workshops focused around a variety of different topics. Examples of recent CPD workshops are:

Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention

Mindfulness Meditation and Forest Bathing

LGBTQ+ Awareness

Postpartum Depression

Neurodiversity in the Therapy Room

My work centres around the therapeutic relationship between myself and the client. I will use a combination of CBT, Person Centred and Gestalt therapy. I will encourage reflexivity around your self-awareness and review every six-weeks to ensure you are gaining what you feel you need from the sessions. Appreciating a one-size-fits-all approach is not productive, I will adapt my practice in accordance to your individual needs. Short and long-term work is undertaken. There is no time limit on therapy and we will go at your pace.

During your first session I will ask you some assessment questions. This will enable us to map out a treatment plan for you and give you the opportunity to ask me any questions you might have. 

A contract will be issued for you to sign if you are happy to do so. This will have contact details for next of kin and will give you practicalities such as payment details.

I am relatively flexible in the hours I offer. Supervision can be delivered face-to-face, via phone or Zoom or by a walk and talk.

I am an Accredited member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ and I work in accordance to this in supervision. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space which facilitates you, as a therapist, to explore your working practice and unpick collaboratively what might be happening between you and your client/s.

I favour an integrative approach, allowing me to work to the best of my ability with each individual supervise. All supervision work is undertaken with the strictest of confidence. 

Supervision is a pivotal part of any successful therapeutic alliance and I pride myself in being able to work alongside you, supporting you through your working practice. 

I have extensive experience in supervising student counsellors in young people's placements.

Supervision is delivered face-to-face, online (Zoom), telephone and walking and talking; whatever works best for you.

If you feel I could be the supervisor for you, I offer a no obligation phone consultation. 

For sessions of 90 minutes, my fees are £50 for a six-month probationary period; following a review, this increases to £65 thereafter.

Hour long sessions are charged at £45 for a six-month probationary period, increasing to £50 thereafter. 

Your initial supervision session will be used to go over the supervision contract, establish what governing body you belong to and to introduce me to your client load and how you are working to support them.

My working hours are flexible. Sessions can be online, face-to-face, over the phone or via walking and talking. All particulars will be discussed and jointly agreed upon prior to our first session.

I am an Accredited member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ and work in accordance to this. All work undertaken is in the strictest of confidence.

I am an integrative supervisor who uses the 7-eyed model of supervision. This looks specific areas around the work with your clients and how this impacts on you. I am competent in Gestalt, CBT and Person-centred modalities.

I offer a confidential, non-judgemental approach to supervision which allows you to explore your client work safely and understand what is happening between you and your client/s. Supervision is a pivotal part of any successful therapeutic alliance, and I pride myself in being able to work alongside you, supporting you in your working practice.

Whilst being professional, I am also empathetic and caring. I value supervision sessions and understand the importance of building, and sustaining, a professional relationship with all supervises. If you feel I might be the supervisor for you, I offer a free, no obligation, telephone consultation. Our working practice will be reviewed every six-months to ensure you are getting what is needed from supervision. 

I have over twenty years of extensive experience working with young people and supervising student/qualified counsellors on placement within young people agencies.

During our first session, we will look at the supervision contract which allows you to ask any questions you feel you might have. I will explain how and what I offer in supervision and you will have the opportunity to present me with your current caseload. 

I encourage supervises to seek CPD opportunities and will ask you about anything you have done or are thinking of doing. We will explore CPD opportunities frequently.

Supervision is collaborative; I will learn from you as well as you learning from me. I will share interventions I have found helpful with clients, if I feel it is appropriate to do so. I would also encourage you to share things you have found advantageous in your client work.
