LET ME TELL YOU A BIT ABOUT ME...

I will naturally respect the individualism each person brings. I will work with them in an understanding, non-judgmental way whatever their circumstances. I work at their pace and will never tell them what to do. Following on from my four year counselling training I have trained post qualification for a further four years via Middlesex University with The Berne Institute and gained a Post Graduate Level 7 qualification in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapeutic Counselling.

I adhere to both the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) code of ethics where confidentiality and professionalism combine to offer a quality service.

I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, (CBT), where necessary, to facilitate the desired changes those that come for therapy want to make. I can offer each person a tailor made therapy that will ensure you live the life you deserve. A happier, more fulfilled life, and to be the person you want to be, with the ability, knowledge and understanding that can help you to cope with life’s difficult situations, whatever they may be.

I am continuing to study Advanced Psychotherapy in Transactional Analysis and use this theoretical approach to give a deeper understanding of self and others and the ways in which we communicate, often unconsciously, in relationships.

I do not pretend to have all the answers or to have a magic wand to make your troubles disappear, but I can offer you the support and skills to work through your issues more effectively. I offer a commitment to the therapy sessions and there may be some work involved on your part too, but this is essential if the desired changes are to be effective.
