Who am I?

A passionate, senior counsellor who specialises in supporting staff and students and neurodivergent people, using a range of flexible approaches including ACT and creative therapies, to meet you particular needs. 

For 14 years I have supported hundreds of students, staff and clients in Universities, the NHS, charities and in private practice and bring over 25 years further experience in teaching, research and care work.

Clients say I am compassionate and easy to talk to. They value the new perspectives gained and the practical approaches and suggestions, that help them move forwards.

Please contact me for a free chat, if it sounds like I could meet your needs. 

I would love the chance to work with you!

How do I work?

I was originally trained in the person-centred approach and value being open, non-judgmental and respect individual needs, autonomy and potential for change.

Additional training has enabled me to offer other therapeutic approaches that my clients and I find helpful and effective.

I draw from a range of therapies including

• Acceptance, compassionate and mindful approaches (ACT Therapy), CBT skills and creative interventions.
• Working with different 鈥�parts of self鈥� including inner child or critic, wise-mind and internal conflicts.
• I integrate these approaches to meet your individual needs and preferred ways of working. 
• I work flexibly and adapt therapy to you, rather than expecting you to fit the approach.

Who do I work with?

• Adults 鈥� 18 years or above and who live in the UK.
• I specialise in the support and development of professionals and students/trainee counsellors working in health, social care and education settings.
• People from diverse backgrounds, races and cultures, those with disabilities or who are neurodivergent or LGBTQI+

My private practice does not work with children and young people under 18 years, couples, or adults who are actively suicidal, struggling with addictions or who have complex mental health issues.

Instead I suggest other services, so you can access the specialist support you require.

What types of sessions do I offer?

• Integrative counselling
• ACT Therapy

• Brief-focused, well-being appointments

• Group and individual supervision
• Training for services, groups and individuals

Welcome to my supervision profile!

I'm an approachable, flexible, experienced and a neuro-affirmative and trauma-informed, integrative and creative, 网爆门 accredited counsellor, ACT therapist, supervisor and trainer.

I specialise in the support of health, education and social care professionals and students, building on 40 years experience in Education, the NHS and charities, as a counsellor, supervisor, teacher, researcher and as a volunteer.

I provide an empathic, non-judgmental, ethical and reflective space, so supervisees feel able to share freely about their clients, the challenges of their work and any significant life issues they may experience. 

Most of my clients and supervisees are neurodivergent as my work is informed by my lived ADHD and autistic experiences and neuro-affirmative training and supervision received.

Supervision

鈼� Qualifications: BPS approved Certificate in Supervision skills, SDS; Diploma in Supervision, Leeds CPD; Certificate in Creative Supervision Skills, Creative Counsellors.

鈼� My supervision draws from various supervision models including Hawkins and Shohet 7 eyed process model, Proctor and Inskipp鈥檚 functional model, and developmental, organisational; creative and ACT therapy supervision.

鈼� One-off specialist supervisory support and consultancy on neuro-divergency, mental health issues or ACT approaches.

My supervision provides:

• Restorative support and to endorse the therapist's self-care.
• Guidance on ethical issues and safeguarding matters.
• Space for supervisees to reflect on the therapeutic processes.
• Encouragement for supervisees to reflect on the impact of their work on themselves and challenging dynamics.
• Use of experiential and creative supervision approaches and casework reviews to help supervisees gain new perspectives and insights.
•  Consideration of supervisees鈥� work context and stage of development.
• Course and career support including business and marketing suggestions and trainee reports, supervisee references or accreditation, if required.

I offer a free 20 mins consultation so I can provide further information about how I work and so that you can ask any questions and make sure I can meet your particular needs as a therapist or trainee.

Before your 1st session:

Step 1) We arrange a free introductory video or phone-call.

Step 2) I will send you a booking reservation, a welcome pack and forms to complete.

Step 3) You will complete and return the forms.

Step 4) I will send you the video link or directions of where we will meet. 

In our 1st session I like to find out about your preferred ways of working; course or organisation or business requirements and an overview of your casework and any particular concerns that may be impacting your work or affect our work in supervision, including any adjustments you may require, to ensure that supervision is a safe and effective space for you. There will be space too to discuss client work. Future sessions will be led by your supervision needs and can vary in covering the potential ethical, restorative and processes of therapy, in addition to casework.
