Profile
I have been helping people with psychological issues for over 20 years, and originally went for counselling training because others would often seek me out to listen to their problems and difficulties. My own background and past difficulties mean that I have a good understanding of where others may be coming from. I see clients in a designated room in my home, offering both day time and evening sessions. I can be flexible if a client is unable to commit to the same time every week. My concern is to help my clients overcome the issues that are preventing them from reaching their full potential; to see them break free from those things that are holding them back. Working with a number of different counselling models, enables me to adapt to my clients' individual needs and circumstances. Some clients come with a specific issue and goal in mind; these people I generally do not have to see too many times. Some, however, are looking for more general open-ended therapy, which I am also able to offer. I also work as a supervisor. I particularly appreciate involvement with student counsellors but am also able to work with those who are more experienced. My concern is to support and hold those in training, and to provide a space for the more experienced to off-load their concerns, frustrations and joys! As well as the excellent training I have had, my own experiences of both helpful and unhelpful supervision have taught me a lot; as a result I am in a very good place to help others. As well as working with individuals and couples, I run workshops and seminars on counselling and personality issues. I am also trained as a Myers Briggs Personality Type assessor which is a very helpful and liberating tool to accept and understand yourself and others.
