I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with seventeen years experience of working with people from all walks of life experiencing a wide range of challenges.

I am a Psychodynamic Counsellor and this form of Counselling is concerned with how our experiences impact our thinking, feeling and behaviour. I see therapy as a collaborative process in which you are the expert of your inner world and I am there to assist you in understanding your processes. It is like your inner world is a jigsaw puzzle and through our conversations we gather pieces of information and working theories that help us to create a picture of what is happening and help you understand what might need to shift to get where you want to go. I have worked in several university settings, a service for men who have be experienced sexual violence and/or childhood sexual abuse as well as having extensive experience with issues such as bereavement, identity and relationship issues and self esteem issues.

 I see the therapeutic process as empowering and my role is to help you in acquiring the tools to support yourself both internally and externally far beyond our work together.

I also offer Single Session Therapy. Please read more about this below.

Single Session Therapy

The idea behind Single Session Therapy is that you may have one pressing concern which you would like the space to explore, reflect on. You may also want to think about ideas or strategies you can take away to work on but you do not necessarily think you want ongoing sessions. These sessions are 90 minutes long and people find them helpful for addressing specific or short term issues. The rate for these sessions is £100

The first session is usually an assessment session where we talk about your history, your concerns, your aims for therapy to see if working together be the right support for you.

​

I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ accredited Psychodynamic Counsellor and Supervisor with seventeen years experience of working with people from all walks of life experiencing a wide range of challenges.

I have worked in various settings including universities, a service for men with experience of sexual violence and/or childhood sexual abuse, and an online service for young people.

I also have experience of Single Session Therapy, and/or One At A Time Therapy.

As a supervisor, I have ​worked with Counsellors at various stages of their career including trainees and newly qualified therapists and I appreciate the particular challenges faced by fledgling therapists.

As a Supervisor I see my role as supporting the continuing development of the Counsellors I support. Drawing on the tenets of supervision as a normative, formative and restorative process, I work to attune to my supervisee's needs based on their developmental stage as therapists, their current organisational requirements and any other particular needs and challenges they experience, either in relation to individual clients or other aspects of the work.

I see the first session as an opportunity for us to get to know each other. You ask me any questions you have and I get a sense of your background, level of  experience and what you need from supervision to see if I am able to support you. We can also touch on some client material if that feels appropriate.
