About me
I'm an integratively trained counsellor and have been described as calm and down-to-earth although I am pro-active in offering thoughts and ideas. I work short to medium term with both men and women, and welcome all ages, genders, ethnicity, culture, disability, belief or sexual orientation.
I had a career prior to training as a counsellor starting with military service, then in public service in various roles up to senior management level. I have also worked / volunteered for a number of organisations in emotional support roles
I have a leaning towards third wave CBT (Acceptance and Commitment therapy) where therapy and our more spiritual side can sometimes meet. I believe that un-hooking from repetitive thoughts, connecting to our inner sensations, acceptance and accessing the present moment can bring profound changes. This approach can be particularly relevant when working with Trauma. Also looking at the past can often help us to better understand the present. However, this all depends on what aspects of life you as the client would like to explore and what you would like to gain from therapy.
