Hello,

Thank you for logging in to my profile.

It's likely that you have arrived here because you are seeking help or support dealing with some of life’s difficulties.

I appreciate that deciding to seek help and then contacting a therapist can feel like a big and daunting step. Whether that is to deal with anxiety, depression, confusion or unhappiness. Or perhaps it might be a feeling that your life has little meaning, you're lonely, or you lack a sense of direction. Or was there something else?

I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor.

I develop a working relationship with my clients which is exploratory and supportive. Working together we employ different approaches depending on your needs. This could include;

person centred – developing a supportive relationship to explore your story and feelings and enable you to build a strong sense of self. Building your self confidence and esteem

psychodynamic – looking at your history and how that is impacting you in the present

cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) – looking at the causes of your problematic issues and then being very solution focussed

somatic - physical grounding, sensing and breathing techniques

I tailor the therapy to fit you the client.

I began working as a body work professional thirty three years ago. I counselled my first talking therapy clients twenty four years ago. It's in the last four years that I have started to offer an integration of these areas.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their comprehensive code of ethics.

I hold a CPCAB level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I also have a British Wheel of Yoga Teaching Diploma in Yoga, and I am Cerificated by The Minded Institute in integrating Yoga Therapy into Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

If you decide to choose to work with me I look forward to it.
