MÍø±¬ÃÅ, B.Ed

Qualified and experienced Counsellor and Supervisor.

Our lives do not always follow predictable paths. One moment we are doing fine and then suddenly the least little thing seems to floor you. Sometimes it is a bereavement or relationship breakdown that derails us and we struggle to get going again. Or perhaps a long-buried trauma catches up with you and you cannot shake it off. That's when talking with a warm trusted experienced therapist may be exactly what you need. Regaining your mojo is possible.

I have thousands of hours of working with female, male and transgender victims of sexual violence/trauma. I have worked with victims of domestic abuse. I recognise how self-harm, suicide, eating disorders and addiction begin as a way of coping but often escalate to troubling conditions. Recognising their routes is half of the battle. Balancing your life is the other half.

About me and my therapy practice

I work both in person from my home office in Petersfield or online.

The relationship with your therapist is the most important ingredient of any successful therapeutic relationship. You must feel safe and trusting to enable you to reach in and empty out those worries, niggles, doubts or bad thoughts.

I offer a half price single session to all potential clients so that you can judge if this is a relationship you think will allow you to unload.

Practice description

I am a person-centred therapist. This means I will work with what you bring and do not work to a set programme. We will work together on those issues that seem to be interrupting your daily processes. I have a strong existential focus and will be interested in exploring what has shaped you through your life. We cannot change your past but we can use those insights to take better control of your life today and in the future

About me and my therapy practice

I am an experienced person-centred therapist with a strong focus on existential outlook.

Much, but not all of my work has been around childhood trauma and sexual trauma and I supervise a number of counsellors who work in this area.

As a supervisor my first priority is to ensure that the clients you are working with are safe. This is closely followed by trying to assist you to be the best therapist you can be. This includes how you look after your own well being as well as your work with your client.



Practice description

I am a person centred, existential therapist and that is the model of my supervision. I am more than happy to work with supervisees of all modalities.

My first appointment is always provided at half-price to allow us to get to know a little about each other before we decide if it is likely we can build a long term supportive relationship.
