IAbout Me

I believe that we have the potential for personal growth and can gain a better understanding of ourselves by increasing our self awareness. I use a non directive creative approach to help you explore unconscious and past experiences which can impact on your life. 

I am a Counsellor offering long term support and short interventions to young people, adults, couples and groups.  I have worked in various counselling agencies and healthcare settings since 1998 and have a wide range of experience.  Before my counselling training my background was in Management and Accountancy.

I hold a post graduate diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling from Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling. The integrative framework draws from various therapy approaches and the experiential training enables me to make a personal connection and to work in a way appropriate to your needs. 

I provide a safe environment to allow you to talk and think through your situation, explore and express your feelings and perhaps consider a new perspective, assisting you to make independent decisions.

I work with a variety of issues and my areas of experience include:

Exploration and self development Addictive behaviours Relationship difficulties Bereavement loss and grief Depression & anxiety Anger management

Eating disorders Abuse Coping with change Low self confidence Self harm Stress management Postnatal depression

I offer Clinical supervision to trainee and experienced counsellors and other healthcare professionals.  I hold a Postgraduate Certficate in Professional Practice; Counselling Supervision from University College Plymouth St Mark and St John.
