About me

I have worked as a therapist and coach since 1994, after ten years working as a volunteer telephone contact for an adoption charity. After getting an MA in Counselling, I qualified as a Master Practitioner of NLP in 2004 and have gained my BACP Senior Accredited Status as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. So I have a wealth of training and experience, and walk my talk. The list of things I can help with is too long to put here, but to give you some idea I have helped recent clients with:


relationship issues, including family, workplace and intimate
depression
isolation
panic attacks, fearfulness and feelings of inadequacy
the loss of someone close to them
disappointments and meaninglessness in life
stress, anxiety and relaxation training
trauma
physical illnesses which are made much worse by chronic stress (migraine, gastrointestinal disorders)
preparation for interviews and presentations.

I have lots of experience as a client, too, which certainly has helped me appreciate the difficulties of finding a therapist, making that first appointment, and what it's like in the other chair!

The work I do is based on a deep respect for others and for self, a deep willingness to experience and understand what you are feeling as a valid reaction to what is going on in your life, and the willingness to work hard with you in an open, real and honest way. This approach, known as person-centred or client centred, matches my own personal values.
