My Role

As a qualified psychotherapist and registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and the British Psychological Society (BPS), my goal is to create a safe, non-directive environment where you can explore your feelings and find clarity and closure. While my primary approach is person-centred therapy, I recognise that each individual is unique and may benefit from a variety of therapeutic techniques. Therefore, I integrate diverse counselling skills to tailor my methods to meet your specific needs.

Our Session

I offer home & school visits to local areas, depending on your location, to ensure that my services are accessible and convenient for you. Additionally, I can provide online and telephone counselling sessions from the comfort of your own home, allowing you to feel heard, understood, and helping you regain control.

My Experience and Beyond My Clinical Work

I bring 9 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children of various ages. This extensive background allows me to understand and address the unique challenges faced by different individuals.

Beyond my clinical practice, I have authored “Seen but Not Heard,” a book available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, WH Smith, and various other stores worldwide.

Key Aspects of My Integrated Approach:

Active Listening and Empathy: Central to person-centered counselling, I offer a compassionate and understanding presence.
Tailored Interventions: Depending on your needs, I may draw from:
Cognitive-Behavioural Techniques: To help you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours.
Mindfulness Practices: To increase self-awareness and manage stress.
Solution-Focused Techniques: To leverage your strengths and resources in finding solutions.
Cultural Competence: Being sensitive and responsive to your cultural and social context.
Ethical Practice: Ensuring informed consent, maintaining confidentiality, and establishing professional boundaries.
Self-Reflection and Supervision: Regularly reflecting on my practice and seeking supervision to provide the best possible care.

By combining the core principles of person-centred counselling with the flexibility of integrated techniques, I strive to offer a comprehensive and personalised counselling experience that
respects and responds to your individual journey.

My Specialism

– General Counselling: Addressing a variety of emotional and psychological challenges.
– Anxiety Counselling: Assisting clients in finding calmness amidst feelings of overwhelm.
– Bereavement Counselling: Guiding individuals through the process of grief and healing.
– Transforming Negative Thinking and Habits: Promoting healthier, more positive mindsets.
– Children’s and Young People’s Counselling: Supporting youth through emotional and developmental difficulties.
– Couples Counselling: Enhancing communication and connection within relationships.
– Depression Counselling: Helping clients move past feelings of hopelessness.
– Family Counselling: Facilitating healthier dynamics within families.
– Mental Health Assessment: Evaluating needs and creating customised support plans.
– Stress Counselling: Teaching effective techniques for managing stress.
– Trauma and CBT: Supporting recovery from past trauma through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
– Cultural Competency: Offering inclusive and sensitive support to individuals from diverse backgrounds.

My Role

As part of my private practice, I currently supervise counsellors/therapists on an individual basis, but am also looking to supervise groups too.

My expertise is in Children’s (0-12), Young People’s (13-17), and Young Adults (18-25) therapy, but I can supervise qualified therapists who are working with adults and couples.

I have a Level 6 Counselling Supervision Certificate with CPCAB. I have supervised a mixture of trainee and fully qualified therapists.

My Experiences

My supervision approach is the Cyclical Model because this provides a gentle structure for sessions and keeps them focused on the client, but whilst allowing plentiful space for supervisees to bring what they need. This model is Integrative by design, which means counsellors/therapists using a range of therapeutic approaches and modalities can be positively supported by it. Also an inclusive model, it can support practitioners at varying stages of their development.

In my work with supervisees, I support them through a use of Integrative, Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Humanistic and Cognitive clinical thinking.

As a supervisor, I bring a wealth of experience and training that I wish to share with my supervisees so that they can learn, grow and develop. I am committed to the BACP Ethical Framework (2018) and the Supervision Competence Framework (2021). I have fortnightly supervision and engage in ongoing CPD.

I strive to offer my supervisees a safe, non-judgemental and contained space where they feel held, supported and able to grow as reflective and ethical practitioners. I aim to give my supervisees encouragement and remind them to validate themselves as counsellors/therapists by recognising their achievements with them in the supervisory space. Equally I will challenge my supervisees when necessary and guide them through the Ethical Framework if needed to protect them and/or their clients. In summary, the supervision that I provide hopes to equip supervisees with everything they need to enhance their theoretical knowledge, raise their self-awareness, and strengthen their practice.

I am currently providing supervision online via Google Meet. I may also be able to provide in-person supervision via Home Visits if the distance between myself and my supervisees is not too far.

Our first session

In our first session together we will spend the hour getting to know each other and discuss our working styles so that we can start to build a supportive and collaborative supervisor-supervisee relationship.

Your first session is a chance to ask questions and explore what you want your supervision to look like moving forwards.

Supervision is not only a BACP ethical requirement, it is a safe space to bring your clinical work and explore key themes that come up for yourself and your client. In an open and supportive environment we will work in-line with the BACP Ethical Framework and the Supervision Competence Framework to ensure that you can reflect upon the therapeutic work with your clients and take the right steps to ensure that your practice develops you as a practitioner and continues to meet the needs and goals of your client, who is at the heart of our conversations.
