网爆门

Daytime and evening sessions available weekdays.  Face to face, or virtual sessions are available through Zoom/WhatsApp video.

I am happy to  offer a free initial chat to explore your needs and can offer some flexibility.

I'm a 网爆门 accredited counsellor with almost 20 years experience of supporting clients both short focussed therapy and long term therapy.

In addition to private practice as a counsellor I worked with a mental health charitable organisation for many years, and have a wealth of experience.

I continue to update my skills, and apply further training. 

Level 5 qualification in sex and pornography addiction, registered with ATSAC (Association for the treatment of Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity) and CORST (The professional body for Psychosexual and Relationship  Therapists).

Level 6 qualification in Supervising other counsellors and psychotherapists.

If your life is being impacted by thoughts, feelings or actions that you are worried about, then you will be surprised how powerful counselling can be to support you.

My practice will enable you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a safe and non judgemental session.

I believe you to be the expert on yourself, I will support you to explore what brings you to therapy, and offer a safe, non judgemental, counselling relationship.

鈥淧eople are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don鈥檛 find myself saying, 鈥楽often the orange a bit on the right hand corner.鈥� I don鈥檛 try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.鈥�  - Carl Rogers

I qualified in integrative therapy, this allows me to incorporate other theoretical counselling approaches that I have training in, for support, where needed.

I am able to work with both individuals and couples and offer a wealth of experience.

I am available for an initial 15-30 minute free talk to decide if you would like to book an appointment.

If you decide to go ahead  then we will contract for the way forward which allows you the autonomy to ask for what you need, this will then support the focus of the sessions.

The sessions are 50 minutes (1 hour for couples) and can be for as long as you feel that you need the therapy, we will regularly review your needs.

There is a concessionary discount available.

My working days are Monday to Friday and I consider individuals and group supervision.

As per the ethical framework, I take time off every 7-8 weeks to support my wellbeing and safe practice as a therapist.  This is sometimes a week or a long weekend.

Currently I have the first week of October 2024 as annual leave.

I qualified in 2008 with 100 hours in practice, since then I have continued to work as a therapist and am now accredited by the 网爆门.

Many of my years have been spent working in an agency with substance addictions, carers and mental health. My practice included a caseload and a role as a counsellor manager.

Since moving to private practice in November 2021 I have completed the CPCAB L5 in Sex and Pornography addiction and the CPBAB L6 in counselling supervision.

My supervision training was with Cara Counselling Training and focused on different supervision formats.  I have adopted the seven eyed model and the IDM to inform my practice, we can discuss these, or you can use YouTube as a great information tool, especially Luke Hicken's very informative short video. 

I am happy to work with individuals and groups of up to 4 counsellors.  

I am an integratively qualified therapist and transfer this into my supervision practice..

I work individually with Person Centered at the heart of it, using CBT, TA, Psychodynamic, Gestalt and Creative Therapy to inform my practice.

With couples work I continue to ground myself with Person Centered although I am more directive in working with the relationship.

For many years I worked in an agency and managed the counselling provision, supporting placement and qualified counsellors with agency supervision support and training.  

My feedback has always been that I am patient, understanding, relational and a safe supportive practitioner.  

Initially we can have a free chat to see if we are a good fit for your supervision needs. 

If you decide that you would like to go ahead and start supervision then we will take the information from our chat to start a contracting process, in the first paid session.  Together we decide on the contract, although some discussion will be needed to assure that you have the necessary ethical and legal bases covered. I.E. If you are in private practice, ICO registration.   The contracting will be a practical agreement and a way of working that suits you, taking into account any additional needs or cultural expectations.
