ÌÇÐĹÙÍø

16+ years’ experience in the NHS, Higher Education and Independent settings in the Cambridge and Essex regions, working empathically and creatively with people who are feeling life to be difficult with experiences of anxiety, loss, grief, identity, low confidence and self-esteem, relationship difficulties, decision-making, life transitions, traumatic experience and low mood, to name but a few of our human challenges.

I have over 10yrs experience as a Supervisor for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, Trainees, GPs, Palliative Care Consultants, Hospital Chaplaincy services and Teaching staff. I have also published articles, reviews and books in my field, sometimes collaborating with other like-minded colleagues in the Humanistic and Philosophical field of psychotherapy. As a lecturer and trainer in counselling and personal development, I have delivered events at Cambridge University's Institute of Continuing Education, University of Sussex, Anglia Ruskin University, and Shrewsbury College.

Working With Me:

My job is to be with you when your experience of life, an event, or a dilemma, is causing struggle or suffering. Together, our task will be to find a way through and to find a way to trust that when life is tough you will be okay - we do that by leaning in, which is courageous.

Your therapeutic Journey:

You are not alone on this journey of change - I am here to bear witness, be alongside, alert you to what I notice, help you explore experiences, choices and actions to take forward. I will be alongside to what may be illuminated, and help you to bear the illumination when it comes. My intention is to be of aid so that you can feel grounded in a groundless world, light up, even if that means learning to be okay in the dark.

We will do this by listening deeply to what is said and unsaid; by being curious and creative; by perhaps working with your dreams and vivid imagination; by developing trust so that we can challenge and move forward.

My approach:

As a Person-Centred/Experiential Psychotherapist grounded in the Humanistic tradition, my practice is informed and complemented by training, education and experience in the Arts, Philosophy and Zen Buddhism, with particular emphasis on those existential ideas of impermanence, choice and freedom. I work with the human condition when we feel life to be difficult with experiences of anxiety, loss, grief, identity, confidence and self-esteem, relationship difficulties, decision-making, life transitions, traumatic experience and low mood, to name but a few of our human challenges.

In our first session we will use the space to become grounded in the work.  A first session can be every bit as fruitful as the last with any subsequent sessions taking us deeper into the work for you to create opportunities for lasting change.

My approach:

As a Person-Centred/Experiential Psychotherapist grounded in the Humanistic tradition, my Supervision practice is grounded in this tradition and also complemented by training, education and experience in the Arts, Philosophy and Zen Buddhism.  Our work together will be to enquire about experiential process for you and your client, be curious about the playing out of parallel process, attending to practicalities of the work, but mostly, to be supportive with empathic, ethical enquiry for a safe and beneficial supervisory relationship. 

I am happy to offer a first introductory meeting of 30-45mins to explore supervision needs free of charge before any contracting takes place.
