Íø±¬ÃÅ

I am a Registered Member of the Íø±¬ÃÅ and I am eligible for accreditation. I have worked with people from varied backgrounds and of different ages. I can work with anyone from the age of 12 and there is no age limit. I am a Counselling Tutor for The Bedfordshire Centre for Therapeutic Studies.  I was the counselling coordinator for a college, I supported a team of volunteer trainee counsellors in placement and I counselled students with more complex needs.

 I am a qualified integrative counsellor which means I can work in various ways. I have the patience and ability to go at your pace, providing a space for you to feel safe and empathically understood (Person-Centered). I can also work with you to explore your past and how past events influence your present behaviour and relationships (Psychodynamic). I understand that sometimes words can be difficult to find. I am able to bring in other mediums to assist your journey. These can include; paints and other forms of artwork, sand-tray and music.  I am an accredited member of The Foundation for Infant Loss which means I have had additional training to counsel and support those that have lost an infant. 

 I practice privately from a cabin in my garden. I do have access to another room in Bedwell, Stevenage which has an accessibility ramp. Both premises have ample parking and public transport access. Alternatively, I can work online via Zoom.

First we will meet for an assessment session. This will give us space so I can hear a little more about you and you can hear more about what I can offer you. This will allow you to choose if I am the right counsellor for you.

Supervision sessions available Monday - Friday. They can be held in-person in Stevenage or online via Zoom.

I work with supervisees who have a range of history, experience and client base. However, I have particular interest in working with the following:

• Trainees
• Those setting up private practice
• Children & Young People​​ Counsellors

I offer single session supervision which may be useful if your supervisor is unwell, on holiday or you need support with something your supervisor has little/no experience of.

I have experience of running group supervision and open to facilitating this.

As a supervisor I will provide a space to feel safe, for you to explore your clients and practice. We will look through different lenses offering a holistic view of the work you are doing.  I aim to be supportive, encouraging and challenging as appropriate. I enjoy supporting you be the best for your clients and for yourself. 
I encourage feedback - for us to work collaboratively, getting the most out of our time together.

I offer a free 20 minute consultation on zoom which is an opportunity for you to get a feel for how I work and to ask me any questions.

It is also an opportunity for me to get a feel for how you work and to ask you questions.

We can then decide if we would like to work together.
