My background

I am a qualified counsellor experienced in working with adults of all ages. I have worked with Mind and Survivors Trust and two independent counselling agencies, supporting clients with the full range of mental health issues and working both face to face and online.

More details here of my qualifications.

My way of working

My original qualification was as a humanistic counsellor but I also have significant experience of psychodynamic and behavioural approaches to working with clients. This means I can use a range of ways of thinking about your experience of life. My aim is to work in a way which will strengthen your ability to understand and manage your emotions and to develop your experience of your internal world, bringing in your current life and your history. The breadth of my experience means that while it may be a bereavement or some other loss which brings you, we can work on that in the context of any wider mental health challenges that you may experience.

My professional registration details

I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and hold an enhanced disclosure and barring service certificate.
