I have worked in offices, corporations and international manufacturing in technical roles for over 30 years so I have experience of the "real" world as well as experience of therapy.
I qualified as a Person Centred psychotherapist in 2011 and worked in the voluntary sector for the bereavement agency Cruse for many years.
Having completed further study I am also qualified to provide Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
I am a Registered Accredited Member of the BACP and the NCPS
- the lack of travel time,
- the ability to schedule and attend sessions at short notice
- the convenience of being able to hold the session wherever suits you best.
- if you have no private space that you can use for the call then it may not be practical ;
- if you don't have experience using technology or you are uncomfortable with video calls then you may not be able to relax in the session and gain full benefit.
My approach is to use Person Centred therapy where we work through what is happening for you and why it affects you the way it does and use Solution Focused Therapy to focus on the future you want and the daily tasks and steps that will take you there.
I work with adults from 18 years old to 90 years old.
Mens issues, life stage challenges, grief and bereavement, anxiety, depression
My fees are £60 per session payable by bank transfer before the start of the session.

I am a BACP Accredited and NCPS accredited online therapist and therapist supervisor offering sessions by video or telephone.
I use humour in my work and gentle challenge and I expect you to come prepared with notes around what we will be exploring. In return I offer a safe and supportive space for you to unload (when required); for you to explore how the work feels; for you to work through challenges; for you to be recognised and validated; and for you to develop your skills and progress in your practice.
Just like client therapy this is collaborative work and I can't do it without you.
I believe this is an important part of the work you do and if you just want to complete the hours to comply with membership regulations then I'm probably not the right supervisor for you.
My training was based on the Seven Eyed Model developed by Hawkins and Shohet.
So, in brief, in any one session, discussing any specific client, we could be looking at any or even many of the following:
The work you have been doing with the client,
How you feel about the client,
How your description of the client presents to me,
How I feel about your work or how your work is impacting on our relationship,
How safe you are,
How safe the client is
What else is going on in the clients world or your world
Grief and bereavement, mens issues, life stages, relationships and anger management.
