About me
I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I abide by their code of ethics. This ensures your confidentiality and protects your best interests and well-being.
You will be provided with a safe and supportive space where you will not feel negatively judged.
I have a Masters Degree in Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) which has enabled me to provide CBT services for a GP practice and for an alcohol rehabilitation project.
CBT tends to favour shorter-term work, is more goal-orientated and encourages individuals to replace irrational and unhealthy thoughts with more realistic and helpful alternatives.
Holding an Integrative Diploma in Counselling lets me draw upon the insights of several theories including psychodynamic and humanistic psychology. This means that whilst working with individuals in an integrative way I may also invite exploration of past and childhood experiences.
Although my particular interest is in the areas of alcohol misuse, and pregnancy and childcare related issues, I am also able to help individuals with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress, OCD, etc.
Some people may find six sessions adequate to address particular concerns in their lives, whereas others may prefer more in-depth exploration of their self and their relationships. I am happy to work with individuals on whichever basis is right for them.
