Talk Therapy COUNSELLING, GROUP WORK & CLINICAL SUPERVISION




 

I'm a trauma informed therapist with 20 years’ experience working with children, adults and families. I started as a ChildLine counsellor and supervisor before working in local charities supporting adults and children affected by sexual violence, trauma and abuse. I've worked in numerous settings including NSPCC, NHS, and Domestic Violence Services. I also provide individual and group supervision to mental heath professionals, qualified therapists and student counsellors alongside my online counselling private practice. 

My approach is Integrative, which brings together different elements of specific therapies including;  Person-Centred ,Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Systemic Practice.

​

Person-Centred therapy, also known as a humanistic approach, works to understand your individual experience from your perspective. This approach can help you reconnect with your inner values and sense of self-worth, helping to find your own way to move forward and progress.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) aims to reduce symptoms of  mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on challenging your beliefs, changing unhelpful behaviours and supporting you to develop better coping strategies.  

​

Systemic therapy focuses on family and couple relationships. It helps you to identify behaviour patterns and to understand the ways your emotional life affects how you interact with others.

​

I offer online and telephone counselling to children, adolescents, adults, and couples. ​I also provide supervision to qualified therapists and professionals that provide therapeutic work.

​

My aim is to create a safe and trusting environment to explore what feels most important to you and to support you find a way forward. 

​I have a specialist knowledge and extensive experience working with Trauma and Abuse, Safeguarding and Child Protection. 

Other areas include: Anxiety, Bereavement, Burnout, Careers, Depression, Identity, , Low Mood, Panic Attacks, Relationships & Family Issues, Stress, Self-Harm, Suicide and Anger.
