Trained as an integrative counsellor, I am qualified with an M.A Counselling, a level 4 certificate in counselling children & am a certified trauma specialist. I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
I work one-to-one with people in the way that suits them most beneficially. This may involve exploring relationships from childhood; it may incorporate CBT techniques such as looking at and changing your thought processes; it may simply be the case that you need someone to listen and give you space to explore an important decision.
My only aim is to build a therapeutic relationship so that you have that safe, friendly and non-judgmental space to deal with your situation. As well as counselling adults using a combination of psychodynamic, CBT, systemic and person centred skills, I have a specialism in working with children; working with people who have learning difficulties and those on the autistic spectrum, as well as in working with creative media. As you will see below, I love learning! Both learning about my clients and learning about how the theories develop and change so that I have the tools to assist people.
