About me

I am an experienced and qualified Integral Therapeutic Counsellor with over thirteen years experience working with adults, parents and adolescents.

I am also a Somatic Experiencing� Practitioner. Somatic experiencing� is a body-based approach that expands the focus of the session to include the bodily (Somatic) responses to address trauma and any symptoms relating to traumatic experiences.

I am a registered and accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I attend regular clinical supervision and also attend courses/conferences to keep up to date with current research and counselling techniques.

Areas of interest

I see adolescents who are 16+ and Adults;

I work with the following issues: Anxiety; Depression; Relationship issues; Trauma; Stress and Work issues; Bereavement; Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; Self Esteem; Anger Management.

Being an Integral Therapeutic Counsellor means I do not have a 'one size fits all' approach to counselling. Each client is an individual and it is important to use a therapy and theory which best suits the needs of my client depending on where the issue lies.

Dependent on the client's needs, the focus may be on the here and now looking at solutions whilst looking at underlying patterns of behaviour or the focus may involve exploring their past experiences which have influenced their beliefs, thoughts and how they self-identify in the here and now. Using Somatic Experiencing brings a bottom up approach and enables the client to access and become aware of their bodily responses to situations.
