About me
Talking about your problems can be difficult, even with people who love and care about you. Sometimes you don't know where to turn. I am here to offer you support, and to respond to you sensitively, honestly and without judgement.
I am committed to offering you a space where I listen carefully to the concerns that have brought you to counselling and will do my best to really understand you and what your unique experience is like. It's very important to me that I offer a warm, welcoming, friendly atmosphere to explore, in your own time, the problems that are troubling you.
I am an experienced and professional therapist, working for 25 years as a counsellor in the N.H.S, online and privately. My career in therapy stemmed from my work in nursing the terminally ill and working with bereaved families.
Since qualifying, I have worked extensively with emotional and relationship problems, including childhood abuse, self esteem and confidence issues.
I have also have 20 years experience, counselling young people between the ages of 11-25, in schools, privately and on line.
I use an Integrative approach in my therapy. This means that I have training in a range of different counselling and psychotherapy models which form my 'tool kit'. As I get to know you and what resonates with you, I am able to draw on these strategies to help you to find the right way forward. I use Transactional Analysis as my direction, which informs my learning and my therapy
I am a registered and accredited member of .B.A.C.P and work to their ethical frame work
