I work both in the day and selective evenings.

Appointments after 7.30pm onwards are restricted to telephone or online appointments.

I will aim to agree a suitable day and time for you. 

Hi, I'm an experienced counsellor and supervisor who works with Adults, Children and Young People. 

We all have ups and downs but sometimes there are life moments that can feel especially difficult and can affect how we feel about ourselves, our life, our choices and other people around us.

I aim to help clients make sense of their experiences, thoughts, beliefs and behaviours, guiding people through challenging life moments in a therapeutic relationship that offers the opportunity to be heard with respect, warmth in a safe and supportive non-judgmental space.

As every one is different and has unique experiences our sessions will be led by your needs, to help you gain a deeper understanding how life's events have affected your wellbeing,  providing a positive way to help you make difficult decisions, reduce your worries and anxiety and lead to a greater appreciation of yourself. 

I am an integrated counsellor. This means I am experienced in working with different forms of therapy including; Person Centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural therapies and I integrate these and other therapeutic techniques within my practice to best suit the needs of each individual client. 

I am a CPCAB level 6 qualified Supervisor experienced in supervision work with general adults, children and young people.  I understand how important it is to find the right supervisor that you feel comfortable and supported to work with: provides the encouragement and guidance for your client work, developmental needs and your wellbeing, so you can feel confident, and competent in your professional practice.

I work with trainees, qualified practitioners and also offer group supervision services for organisations. I have experience working across a range of organisations including charities, educational institutions, EAP schemes, private practitioners and other allied health professionals. 

For trainees all supervision reports are included within the cost of supervision.

My training included the developmental and seven eyed models of supervision and I use these with a blended clinical and humanistic approach to consider your client work from theoretical basis, case formulation and a more relational overview in a way that is best suited to your needs. 

I offer sessions via telephone, online video or in person. 

If you would like to see if I could be the right supervisor for you please contact me to book a free chat.
