As a Person Centred / Integrative counsellor I am hard working and passionate about the work I do engaging with young people and adults in any age group from 15yrs and over. 

I have a a few special interest areas which include Trauma, Relationships, Bereavement and Spirituality (Transpersonal) Please see extended list below under the heading "What I Can Help With"

Background

Much of my past experience developed within a Further and Higher education setting as Clinical Lead / Head of Counselling Service seeing a full-time caseload of clients over a number of years.

I have lectured as a tutor in counselling studies at HE level and developed personal development programs for Adult Ed, Further and Higher Educa-tion students. I have also worked with Cruse Bereavement Care as clinical supervisor for over 12 years where I occasionally delivered bereavement related training.

I continue with my own personal development, reflecting on past experiences and regularly engage in 1-1 supervision plus additional peer group intervention in the interest of sharing best practice and experiential learning.

I work from my home-based practice in New Waltham and have a purpose-built garden cabin which offers a safe, secure environment.

Available by remote zoom sessions and in person, or a combination of these can also work well

Clinical supervision is available for both new and established counselling practices including undergraduate trainees.

Referrals are welcome from private sector, local organisations, GP referrals and Employer Assisted Programs (EAPs)

Free initial consultation is offered by phone or zoom which may help you decide if my way of working is right for you.

If you decide to go ahead, regular sessions of up to 50 minutes are booked, usually once a week, though some prefer fortnightly depending on personal circumstances. A date and time for each appointment can be booked at the end of each session, or a number of appointments can be booked ahead if you need to keep the same time slot.

The number of sessions can vary depending on individual needs.

Some people find that one or two sessions are sufficient for immediate is-sues while others will vary depending on the type of problem. Counselling is very much a process and, as such, can be reviewed at any time to en-sure this is meeting your needs.

Please contact me to book a free initial consultation via zoom or in person. Hopefully, this will help you decide if I might be the right supervisor for your needs.

My supervision case load consists of professional counsellors in the public and private sector and trainee / new counsellors who are working towards graduation or seeking accreditation.

Clinical supervision is available for both new and established counselling practices and includes a reduced rate for undergraduate trainees.

Much of my past experience in counselling and supervision has developed within Further and Higher Education setting as Clinical Lead and Head of Counselling Service seeing a full time caseload of clients over a number of years.

During my role as Head of Service I also developed and supervised a graduate programme for newly qualified counsellors in which I was able to provide a supportive environment, including supervision which allowed new counsellors to gain experience and employment.
