A bit about me ...
In addition to being a qualified professional psychotherapist, I have personally experienced many aspects of life, including a painful divorce. I understand how daunting it is to share intimate personal details. As a result, I have huge respect for everyone I work with and celebrate their braveness in facing their demons and moving forward to make changes in their lives.
Rather than focus on one particular method, I am an 'integrative counselling psychotherapist'; I draw on a number of approaches which unfold organically during my sessions with each individual.
Outcomes rely on the secure relationship built up during therapy. I like to work with warmth, humour and empathy, which people tell me puts them at ease. They find that being in a non-judgmental, safe environment helps them explore their issues and concerns more easily.
As a member of the National Counselling Society and the British Psychological Society, I work within stringent ethical frameworks. I am also a tutor in counselling psychotherapy, teaching to advance diploma level in higher education institutions.
