A Psychodynamic model of counselling underpins my therapeutic work which It helps to gain understanding around how your past and perhaps recent experiences have impacted your life and how you relate to yourself and others. In a nutshell psychodynamic counselling explores your unconscious mind by bringing to light underlying emotions, thoughts and processes. It helps to reveal what is repressed/hidden and increases your awareness and understanding of yourself.

Through this empowering process you can gain clarity over your current difficulties which can then assist you to make healthier life choices especially in areas where you might feel stuck or have experienced vicious cycles. Getting to know and understand yourself better is an important part of counselling, because it is only through self-awareness can you make the shifts that you need. 

Everyone expresses themselves differently and sometimes finding words to describe your feelings and circumstances can feel hard, therefore we can explore creative ways of working together such as through writing, drawing, using objects such as stones, crystals, emotion cards etc.

I also hold space in counselling to explore the soul and spirituality if this is important to you. I like to make this explicit from the onset as clients who I have worked with often fed back that they chose to work me because they felt welcome to bring this aspect of themselves into therapy.

I am really passionate about empowering people to live authentic lives, being true to themselves, therefore a Psycho-Spiritual approach to counselling supports a Holistic wellbeing, where I am able to work with the ‘whole’ person. As well as counselling/talking therapy, for those who are interested I can integrate Counselling with Energy Healing, such as Reiki, Crystal Healing and insight from Numerology.

No matter through which service I support you, I aim to help you on your journey back ‘home’ – to yourself, your core essence. Reconnecting with your lost parts and soul fragments, helping you to realise your true self and true potential, supporting you to become more aligned and promoting self-love.

I have worked in the therapeutic field for 20 years and I offer Counselling/Talking Therapy which can be integrated with mindfulness, visualisations, energy work such as reiki, crystals chord cleansing, inner child healing, numerology insight and working with oracle cards.

The mind, body and soul/spirit all need to be in harmonious balance for overall well-being, inner peace and for us to lead lives of purpose, contentment and true happiness.

I help you to start making changes, no matter how small or big, that support and encourage you to step into your authentic self. 

I offer a free 20-minute phone/zoom call as an opportunity for us to connect and see if we are good fit to work together. In this conversation it is helpful for me to know what drew you to counselling and what you are currently struggling with.

We can therefore explore how counselling may support you and what you are hoping to get out of counselling, what you are hoping to be different, what changes you would like to see etc (It is ok if you are not sure about this yet)

We also can think about the practicalities of the sessions i.e. what days/times work for you, whether you prefer online, a hybrid approach or in person. I also offer counselling outdoors in nature.

I have flexible availability for one to one Clinical Supervision, mainly on Mondays, Wednesdays (evening), Fridays and Saturday mornings. I will have increased availability in September/October during the days on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. 

Group Supervision availability is currently on Fridays and Wednesday (evenings)

I have worked in the counselling field for over 20 years across various sectors, including Charity, Education, NHS and Private Practice.

I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ Accredited Counsellor and a qualified Clinical Supervisor.

I qualified as a psychodynamic counsellor in 2004. The first decade my counselling career predominantly involved supporting women, children and young people in areas such as sexual violence, sexual exploitation, substance misuse, the criminal justice system and mental health.

I qualified as a Clinical Supervisor in 2014. The second decade of my counselling career involved working in several leadership and supervision roles within the third sector and private practice.

I was a part of the Â鶹ԭ´´ Spirituality Division as a Network Facilitator and Executive Member/Co-Deputy Chair for 4-5 years (until 2025) to pursue my passion to bridge the gap between counselling and spirituality. I continue to write for the divisional journal 'thresholds' 

I am also a Energy Healer and Numerologist. 

I support supervisees who work therapeutically in a range of settings and with client groups such as children and young people, school or community based projects, bereavement, sexual violence, private practice, faith based services either in person, online, or outdoors. I also work with trainee counsellors (limited spaces).

Through my work within the Spirituality Division I engaged with many trainee, newly qualified and experienced counsellors of faith, religion, spiritual beliefs who through counselling training, post qualification and ongoing work within the counselling profession (across various sectors) felt isolated with their spirituality.

Coming out of the ‘spiritual closet’ within counselling has been a big part of my journey as a therapist, a clinical supervisor and a leader within organisations and as part of this I am now passionate about supporting and empowering counsellors and psychotherapists to step out the spiritual closet, to Increase therapists’ confidence and competence in working safely and ethically with spirituality and to reduce the stigma and isolation around this.

I also offer group supervision on the topic of Spirituality in Counselling Practice; Groups may consist of 3 (1.5 hours) or 4 (2 hours) practitioners and be a closed group. The cost is £40pp. 

I offer a free 20 minute online/phone chat before deciding if we are a good fit to work together. This is then followed up with further contracting if we decide to go ahead with supervision.
