My hours of working are flexible, although I usually work Monday to Friday, my first appointment being at 10.30am and my last appointment is usually at 5.30pm. I don’t work weekends.

I work face to face or on zoom (I hold a certificate in working remotely). My counselling approach is integrative, as I believe that it is important to adapt my way of working to my clients personality  and their presenting issues.

Amongst the Continuous Professional Development courses I have completed there includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment and Resilience, Working in Neurodivergent-Affirming Practice, Safeguarding, Trauma, the Brain and Recovery, Healing Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I am fully insured.

I have been in private practice for approximately 9 years, and qualified for sixteen years. I have also been a counselling supervisor for over 12 years. For 10 years I worked as a volunteer counsellor and supervisor in a local hospice and then went on to manage the Family Support department of another hospice for 2 years. 

My first response to your enquiry is to ask you for suitable days and times for me to give you a ring so that we can both see if I am the right therapist for you. Following that conversation I will email my counselling contract to you. If you find this acceptable I will ask you to reply by email to say that you do so, and include your full name, address and phone number, plus your GP’s name and phone number. We can then book an appointment
