My Experience, Therapeutic Approach and Qualifications
My practice is person centred and integrative, in the therapeutic relationship we build together a safe space which will, I hope, allow you to feel able to unpack and process your emotions and also discover some of the underlying causes to your problems and concerns. I recognise that all of us are very unique, by taking a person centred and tailored approach to each therapy session I aim is to work with you in a way that makes counselling work for you.
I have been working with clients since 2013 and have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings which have enabled me to gain a great deal of experience in individual and multi agency working. Outside my own independent counselling practice I have gained significant experience working as a counsellor for Rape Crisis (2013-2016) and for Mind (2015-2017) I have also worked as a mentor with children who have experienced domestic abuse. In both agencies and in independent practice I have experience of working on short term and long term counselling contracts with both young people and adults. Within my weekly counselling practice clients bring to counselling a variety of issues including:
In addition to face to face talking therapy sessions I can also offer clients Walk Talk Therapy. As a trained eco therapeutic coach, I can offer therapeutic client sessions that take place outside the therapy room, this form of therapeutic work can be really freeing for clients who are comfortable outdoors and find traditional forms of talking therapy restricting. For more information on how that works please visit the eco therapy pages on this site.
Please do feel free to telephone me for a no obligation chat about the therapy and how we might work with your particular presenting concern. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have and welcome your call.
Qualifications
Further to obtaining my original practice Diploma qualification in Therapeutic Counselling, I went on to study and obtain a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy practice where I specialised in Older Adult counselling engagement.

As such I undertake regular clinical supervision and also participate in a number of different courses and workshops throughout the year as part of my commitment to both my clients and the BACP.
