I am an accred­ited Senior Super­vi­sor, Senior Psy­chother­a­pist & Coun­sel­lor.
I have over 30 years’ expe­ri­ence of work­ing in the care pro­fes­sion includ­ing more than 25 years as a ther­a­pist. I am a Reg­is­tered Mem­ber MBACP (Snr.Accred) Coun­sel­lor, Psy­chother­a­pist and a (Snr.Accred) Super­vi­sor. The reg­is­ter is accred­ited by the Pro­fes­sional Stan­dards Author­ity for Health & Social Care which is recog­ni­tion within the health and social sec­tor. I am also a Grad­u­ate Mem­ber of the British Psy­cho­log­i­cal Society.

I am a mod­ern inte­gra­tive super­vi­sor and ther­a­pist and like to bring cre­ativ­ity to my work and research new con­cepts to com­pli­ment my prac­tice. The BACP descrip­tion of Inte­gra­tive Ther­apy is: “dis­tinct mod­els of coun­sel­ing and psy­chother­apy used together in a con­verg­ing way rather than in sep­a­rate pieces.”

Dur­ing my career my approach has been influ­enced from the wide range of mod­els and the­o­ries that I have stud­ied. This long term approach to devel­op­ment is reflected in my work and has given me a vari­ety of skills, knowl­edge and tools with which to help and tutor oth­ers. This enables me to select the right approach in accor­dance with the needs and objec­tives of the indi­vid­ual.

I am expe­ri­enced in pro­vid­ing help in the fol­low­ing areas:-

* Rela­tion­ships & co-dependency
* Depres­sion & neg­a­tive think­ing patterns
* Anx­i­ety, pho­bias & post trau­matic stress
Addic­tion
* Abuse incl. sex­ual, phys­i­cal & mental

I work with many dif­fer­ent organ­i­sa­tions includ­ing the N.H.S., Edu­ca­tion Author­i­ties, Statu­tory agen­cies, pri­vate busi­nesses and charities.
