I work integratively , my core training is  Humanistic, person-centred .

 I have additional training in alternative models, Psychodynamic, CBT , Act , DBT, solution focused therapy. 

Therapy starts with you as a unique individual, so therapy will always be tailored to your requirements, which is why I work integratively . I work to support your autonomy as a person and work relationally. A safe and trusworthy working relationship is integral to relational therapy .I aim to  to create a safe, empathic, and supportive environment where you  can explore any difficulites that are affecting you and areas of your life.

I believe in the power of active listening and believe that this is an essential part of therapy, offering the client full attention so that you feel "heard".

I believe in personal growth and potential, I offer a safe and confidential space in order to support you. We are all uniquely different, I strive to offer empathy and non conditional understanding. I believe in the human capacity towards self growth , although at times life can appear stuck and hopeless, painful. I believe we all suffer in one way or another, I offer a non judgemental listening ear and support to find your own vision and direction.

I have over Twenty four years of experience an privilege of working as an  Counsellor and Therapist within the NHS, EAP companies, BUPA and various charities. i have worked all over the UK within that time span, from Cornwall to Newcastle.

During the first session is a space where 

You can explore the area s you wish to work  and what you would like  your  outcomes to look like, and build a plan of how you wish your therapy to proceed. 

This is also an opportunity for you to get to meet and interview me also and check that I am the right therapist for you.

I offer a free 30 minute consultation via phone or video so that you might disscuss some of the difficulties you wish to work with.

I will also discuss with you confidentiality and boundaries one might expect from a proffesional and safe service. Also practical issues. There is never any obligation to book a session after a free consultation or indeed after any session. I generally suggest we review sessons on regular basis so you can check for your self if you are getting what you require from the sessions.

I risk assess every initial appointment and may offer information of how to support your self in between sessions.

I have an advanced Diploma in Counselling Supervision (an NCS Accredited training), and I can  offer clinical supervision to both trainees and fully qualified counsellors as well as other professionals. 

My aim is to work collaboratively and non judgementally  with you, providing a trustworthy space where you can explore, and review your counselling work.

 Examining a holistic  context, regarding  your client,  and your self. The impact your work may have upon yourself and your future development. 

In my experience I have found that  the work that we do as therapists is often in isolation, especially if we are private and self employed therapists. However what ever setting we may work in there  is always the chance that we   can be presented with unexpected ethical issues or dilemmas in the course of a session.

 I feel that it is of paramount  importance  to find the right space for yourself  where there can be a  balance of non judgemental safety,  yet a space where you can meet your self in an open and transparent manner. 

 I hope  to offer you ; Supervision that  can offer a chance to review your self care and a space to develop self confidence and self growth, whilst holding your clients requirements at the heart of our work.

I offer a free 30 minutes phone call or zoom space where we can meet to explore your requirements and if we are matched to work together. Where we can plan a future contract together.

The first session of 90 minutes allow for your case load, training needs/interest  and personal requirements can be discussed and explored to sculpt your session and future sessions to shape your overall requirements.
