I offer sessions to clients in my private practice in central Winchester : Monday and Tuesday,  9am til 5pm

Experience of working in a variety of mental health settings for over 16 years, working face to face both long or short term, 1:1 or groups. Currently working 1:1 in private practice in central Winchester.

I am experienced working with clients with issues such as trauma, work related stress, grief, bereavement, loss, relationship issues (including manipulation, coersion, violence), family relationships, depression, anger, dementia, infertility, anxiety and low self esteem, terminal illness and chronic pain. 

Specialist training in somatic trauma therapy, bereavement, infertility, youth / young adults and working with couples, families and groups. 

I have specialist somatic trauma training and experience of 6 years working with a broad range of clients who have experienced trauma including PTSD, C-PTSD, ACE's and abuse. 

I have had a private practice in Winchester since 2008. I am an integrative humanistic counsellor/psychotherapist, which means I use my training in different approaches to suit clients needs and regularly review counselling to ensure it suits your needs.

Being an Integrative therapist, means I work in the way which is most useful to you and your issues, led by clients' needs, we co-create the best way to work with your issues.

Initially I offer a brief free telephone conversation of around 15mins to understand an outline of your current concerns and check availability and when to meet for the initial consultation session and ongoing weekly sessions.

The initial consultation is chargeable at my usual rate.

During the initial session we talk at a deeper level about what is affecting you currently, your expectations from counselling, I will gather your personal and medical information at this time as well.

We will consider any questions you have on our agreement which will have been sent in your confirmation email and discuss the main points such as confidentiality.

At the end of this session we will discuss the way forward. 

I offer supervision on a Thursday 9am - 5pm

Supervision, I believe is an essential and enriching part of being a psychotherapist or counsellor.  Its about a collaborative relationship, co-creating a safe and contained framework for growth and healing of the therapist. The essence of the work focusing openly and honestly on clinical material in the best interests of the client. 

I believe supervision is an environment where we can be empowered to be the best practitioner and to explore any areas of success, concern or difficulty we have in our work. We can do this in the knowledge that the purpose of supervision is to assist your development, rather than to be judged.

I am experienced in both group and 1:1 supervision. 

I offer specialised trauma supervision individually or in groups Have you or your colleagues thought of creating a group for supervision? 

I have trained as an integrative relational supervisor and provide supervision for trainees and experienced counsellors and psychotherapists.   Please read my counsellor profile to know my other qualifications and experience.

Please contact me if you are interested for a free 30min meeting.
