A variety of daytime and evening in person appointments are available. I offer concessionary rates for counselling trainees.

Life can be challenging. We can feel like we’ve lost our way or even lost ourselves. Sometimes, being with someone independent of your life, circumstances and relationships can be the best way to put things into perspective.

As a qualified, Â鶹ԭ´´ accredited counsellor I can offer you the attention, patience and space required to help you to work out what is really going on for you; a place of clarity and new possibilities.

I have been trained integratively in a variety of counselling theories, focusing on the therapeutic relationship I work mainly with a psychodynamic approach. This means that I hold in mind an appreciation of the influence of the unconscious processes we all create in our formative years on how we currently live our lives. Our early attachment bonds also shape how we live, love, communicate with and relate to people.

Once we understand and consider the whole picture we can choose what we want to keep, let go of or do differently. Understanding brings with it a gracious invitation to change, if we choose it and if it suits who we wish to be.

I am currently offering free daytime supervision whilst undertaking my L6 supervision diploma for individuals and groups.

I work from my Winnersh based practice and online.

I am currently offering free supervision whilst undertaking my L6 supervision diploma which is based on the Â鶹ԭ´´ Supervision Training Curriculum and aligned with the Supervision Core Competencies of both Â鶹ԭ´´ and UKCP, amongst others.

If you are a counsellor, psychotherapist or working in another setting in the helping professions looking for additional individual or group clinical supervision please get in touch.

My practice is a calm, restorative space for reflective clinical supervision to support you in continued good practice, quality therapeutic work and continued professional development.

I can supervise work with trainee and qualified counsellors working with individuals, couples and family pairings such as mother daughter work in addition to your existing supervision.

I work from my Winnersh based practice and online.

I'll be interested to understand what you are seeking from supervision, your previous experiences with supervision as well as what has worked well for you and not so well.

I'll be happy to ask any questions you have, particularly around my practice and the supervision models I use.
