Hello,

Can I support you to improve your relationships, reduce anxiety and stress? I offer counselling  for individuals and couples to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviour so you can improve your relationships, mental health and life long well-being. 

As a qualified integrative counsellor I offer brief and longer-term counselling to suit your needs.

Counselling can enable you to make sense and meaning of your experiences, develop insight and new ways to adjust and live authentically.

From working in counselling agencies in the West Midlands and Warwickshire, and over a decade in private practice, I am experienced in a wide range of concerns including:

Relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, work related stress, abuse, trauma, bereavement and loss. This includes bereavement counselling for parents who have experienced miscarriage, neonatal and infant loss.

I specialise in working with clients who want to improve their relationships with themselves, others, their community and our environment. Through a creative therapeutic relationship we all have the potential to increase self-awareness and create change in our lives. 

The person-centred approach, is the foundation of how I work and I integrate a variety of CBT, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness and nature informed interventions based on evidence-based research of what works in therapy.

As an experienced supportive colleague, I also work with other therapists as a qualified clinical supervisor.

I work in person or online. If you would like to know more, about in person or online sessions please make contact.

If you choose to contact me, I offer an initial joint consultation session. I will listen carefully to the concerns you bring. Together we can explore if and how we can work together, enabling you to make decisions about how you want to live your life and deal with life problems in your own way.

I am a Registered Member MÂ鶹ԭ´´ (Accred), and committed to practice within the Â鶹ԭ´´ Ethical Framework for Counselling Professionals.

Passionate about supervision and its potential to be transformative. 

I aim to facilitate a supervision environment that enables full inquiry, openness to difference, ethical exploration, restoration and life-long learning. I bring the relational qualities of warmth, generosity and humour.

I have found, over time that active collaboration can create a dynamic space, where you can bring all of yourself, and your therapeutic work for good quality ethical supervision.

As a trained integrationist (Newman University), I work with an integrative, inclusive attitude. I enter the supervision relationship using a humanistic lens, with awareness of attachment relational dynamics. My evolved model of integration includes psychological education and active experimentation from TA and the Gestalt cycle of experience. 

I will attune to your expressed supervision needs, learning style and developmental stage as a therapist, working openly with the Seven Eyed Model of supervision.

I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ accredited Counsellor and Supervisor. Column B for SCoPEd, with a Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision. 

From my portfolio career as a Learning and Development Consultant, I have been a Chartered Member of the Institute of Personnel and Development for over 25 years. For your supervision, this provides skilled application of the roles of Coach, Trainer, Ethical Consult and Mentor.

My current focus is private practice working with individuals, couples and supervisee’s. 

Sessions are in-person, online or outside at a local nature reserve. Two and a half days a week I am in the Leamington and Warwick area, and on Wednesdays I work in Birmingham City Centre as an associate of Birmingham Counselling Service.

Supervision sessions for qualified therapists are charged at £82.50 for ninety-minutes and £55 for sixty-minutes. 

I have some ‘niche’ area’s that that may be of interest to you:

 I am a qualified Mindfulness Meditation teacher and practitioner. I teach blended interventions from Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Stress Reduction Programmes. These practices can be both facilitative for your therapeutic work and restorative for your own self-care.

 I facilitate clients to step outside into nature (safely and ethically). This gives space to explore our interconnectedness with the world with ‘nature as co-therapist’. This environment can facilitate ecological consciousness, mindfulness and movement.

 I work with Couples, my practice is guided by the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, integrating the five stages of development in adult relationships across the life course, differentiation theory and its relationship to attachment theory.

 I particularly enjoy working with qualified therapists that are contemplating starting their own private practice.

 My current CPD focuses are exploring the links between therapeutic communities, psychological safety, trust & social action. Generational strengths and ancestral dynamics.

Please make contact if you notice we may be a good match for your supervision needs now or for your planned development.

If you are curious about the possibility of working together, please make contact and let us set up a call or zoom together.

I offer a free 30-minute call to explore our initial experience of each other. We can discuss your needs for supervision and if I could be a fit for you. We can understand the practicalities for your supervision sessions, and then plan a sixty- or ninety-minute supervision session.

After jointly evaluating our contact, if you wish to progress, we can formally contract our supervisory working agreement, bringing clarity of what we can expect from each other in the service of your supervision needs.

I encourage mutual open review of our work at all times and plan for a formal collaborative review after the first six months, in line with the Â鶹ԭ´´ (2018) ethical commitments for supervision.

Thank you for reviewing my supervisor profile.

My practice currently has capacity for monthly supervision Mondays at 2:00 p.m. or Tuesdays at 8:00 a.m. If either of these times fit your supervision times, please make contact so we can set up a time to connect.
