About me and my therapy practice
How I Can Help
Thanks for reading this. If you’re looking for a down to earth, conscientious, caring and reliable therapist, calm but also able to test and challenge on occasions, we could be a good fit. Maybe contact me and we can talk a bit more on the phone so we can both find out more, without any commitment on either side.
My intention is to provide a safe space to be able to concentrate on you and the issues you bring. Every client is unique, as is their story and perspective. The most significant part of the therapeutic process is developing the relationship between the client and counsellor and working together we can identify ways to improve your well-being. Using primarily an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach I will provide you with individually tailored tools and techniques to work through you difficulties as we go along.
ACT is a practical and proven CBT- based approach although as an integrative counsellor I draw from various traditions, grounded in what works for you. Some clients find just a few sessions helpful others continue longer, ultimately it's your choice.
About Me
I began my career in military and later went into public service, including management and leadership roles. My path to counselling has been shaped by years of experience supporting others, including voluntary work with the NHS, Carers Support West Sussex, and Olive Tree Cancer Support.
