Availability

I work Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from my home. If you would like the same appointment each week I will try to arrange that but I also appreciate that many people need to be more flexible. I am happy to have breaks for school holidays.

About me and my therapy practice

I believe that the essential for good counselling is the relationship we build between us. You are the expert on your own life and my aim is to help you to explore your needs and help you to live the sort of life you wish. 

I work integratively drawing on a variety of models depending on the needs of each individual client.

I have taught on Counselling Courses for many years and have particular understanding of the needs of student counsellors. I have over twenty years experience working with individuals, couples and groups.

About me and my therapy practice

I have taught on counselling  and supervision courses for many years and have a good understanding both of the particular needs of new supervisees and more experienced therapists. I am also happy to work with other professionals working in caring professions as I believe supervision can contribute tremendously to professionals feeling supported in their roles and  in preventing burnout.

Practice description

I work with supervisees in Private Practice and those working for agencies. I have experience of group and individual supervision. I believe that supervision should provide a safe space for supervisees to explore their practice, develop their potential and feel supported. Shame should never be part of supervision

My first session

I am very happy to meet supervisees to discuss their needs and see if we feel we can work together. I do not charge for this initial session.
