I am a professionally qualified counsellor, supervisor, and lecturer, and am a member of association of counsellors and therapists online (ACTO), Society of Education and training (SET), and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). I adhere to the BACP’s Ethical Framework for Good Practice and ACTOS standards. My belief is that learning in this field is continuous and I am committed to my ongoing professional development and clinical supervision.
My knowledge and skills have developed through working in private practice, and as a counsellor within the NHS, third sector, education and corporate settings. Also I work as a clinical supervisor to qualified practitioners, trainees, and other care professionals. I work on a face to face basis with clients from the age of 4 and on video and audio basis from the age of 10 where appropriate, dealing with a wide range of issues. The period of any interventions varies dependent on individual needs.
I'm trained in Humanistic, Cognitive behavioural, as well as Neuro Linguistic Programming and hold a belief that the individual is their own expert so hold them at the centre of the therapeutic process. I also ensure I keep up to date with the codes of practice and ethical developments of the memberships I hold.
My approach is intergrative of a blend of therapeutic approaches, as I belive that as we are all unique; effective counselling needs to be sculpted to meet individuals needs. Acknowledging this enables me to provide as much choice as possible ‘within the therapeutic space’.
As I do not believe that in therapy 'one size fits all' I use an integrative approach in therapy. This approach is not linked to one particular type of therapy as I do not believe that only one approach works for each individual in all situations. I have faith in meeting the clients individual needs and I do draw from, apply and blend a range of therapeutic approaches, comprising of person centred, humanistic, cognitive behavioural, neuro linguistic programming, additionally I use and the creative techniques to enable me to meet individual needs, expectations and preferences.
Fundamentally I believe in the power of counselling and practice this on a face to face, video and audio basis as best suits the therapeutic process and individual.
My overall intention always remains to do my very best to provide opportunity to alleviate any discomfort , improve your wellbeing, move towards a rich and fulfilling life and provide opportunity to discover and develop ‘self’ build resilience, inner strength and self awareness.
