Íø±¬ÃÅ

Hi, I'm Ally. I am a Psychotherapist and Counsellor registered with both Íø±¬ÃÅ and UCKP.  I hold a Masters degree in Psychotherapy and have almost 20 years' experience.  A Psychotherapy training takes many years, and throughout, it involves deep and extensive personal work through individual Psychotherapy.  This means you are guaranteed to be working with someone who has engaged in extensive personal inner work, which makes an important difference to how you experience your own sessions.  I am skilled in creating therapeutic relationships with my clients which are warm, empowering, and create positive change.  My clients experience lasting improvements in all areas of life, most especially in their close relationships. I am trauma informed, and I am also a Clinical Supervisor, providing Supervision to other psychotherapists and counsellors.

Whatever the challenges you're currently facing, I offer a safe and nurturing space where we can talk and explore together what is happening, and where you will feel supported and understood.

My training is in Psychosynthesis, which is a soulful and gentle approach, leading to personal freedom and reduced suffering, whatever the cause of that suffering.  At its heart lies the understanding that in understanding and including our struggles and our pain, we become more fully ourselves and experience more moments of pure joy on a daily basis. Ultimately we find a more whole sense of Self - this is coming home to our True Self; who we were always meant to be.

My fees are a sliding scale between £65 to £85 per 60 minute session. 

How Psychotherapy can help

The aim of therapy in this context is to emerge from your difficulties with the confidence to follow your own path, and with a growing sense of kindness towards yourself. I bring compassion and warmth to my work with clients. Working with me will feel like a conversation; one which helps you to process and make sense of what is happening and arrive at a place of renewed self acceptance and self confidence. My approach is both down to earth and creative, and I draw on my experience to respond in the moment with what will be most helpful for you.

My experience includes working in a University with young adults, helping them with issues ranging from anxiety and depression to self harm and eating disorders, volunteering in a Women’s Refuge and running a varied private practice. I am a fully insured member of both Íø±¬ÃÅ and UKCP and I abide by their Code of Ethics.

My influences in addition to Psychosynthesis are ISTDP (a form of short term therapy), IFS (parts work), Byron Katie, Gabor Mate (Compassionate Inquiry), Jungian and post Jungian theory, and dreams, myth and story (Clarrissa Pinkola Estes and Marion Woodman).  I work integratively which means I will call on a range of influences to work with you in the most effective way possible.

Training, qualifications & experience

• MA Psychotherapy
• Diploma in Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy
• Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling
• Diploma in Counselling
• Diploma in Supervision with Re-vision
• Ongoing Continuing Professional Development

First and foremost you will find me a warm and approachable human being! I have experience as an integrative and transpersonal Supervisor and undertook my training with Re-vision. I offer affordable supervision to Counsellors, Psychotherapists and Psychologists working within a broad range of theoretical approaches. I am a UKCP registered Psychotherapist. My Supervision fees reflect the fact that I am currently in the final stages of my UKCP accreditation for Supervision.

I believe that we are drawn to the work of Counselling and Psychotherapy for a deeper reason. The challenges and stumbling blocks we face as therapists offer us opportunities for both personal and professional growth, enabling, through the conduit of a creative and non-judgemental Supervision which includes metaphor, myth and imagination, the emergence of something soul-ful, and with it a more fulfilling and purposeful experience of our client work.

My desire is to bring growth and a transformative element to our work together. I will work thoughtfully and compassionately with whatever you wish bring to Supervision and I will always strive to attune to your needs, my aim being to help you to deepen your client work in a way which benefits both you and your clients.

I have a private Psychotherapy practice and keep up to date with emerging approaches and theories. My Psychotherapy background is rooted in Psychosynthesis. I am influenced by ISTDP, psychodynamic and Jungian thinking and am also interested in the work of Dr Gabor Mate and Byron Katie.

I recognise that the Supervision space can be a vulnerable one, and I provide a safe and non-judgemental atmosphere in which we can think together and arrive at clarity and expansion. If you are looking for Supervision which brings a fresh creative, imaginative and transpersonal perspective to your client work whilst enhancing the skills you already possess, then I would be happy to hear from you.

I offer Supervision both online and in person.
