I am an accredited counsellor, supervisor and coach. I trained at Liverpool John Moores University, PCCS and the ILM, and qualified as a counsellor over 20 years ago. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and am on its Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. In all areas of my work, I aim to create an environment and a therapeutic relationship within which you feel safe enough to explore whatever issues you are facing.
I will treat you with respect, will try to understand you and your experiences, will be genuine in our relationship and will not be judgmental. At Actuality Counselling, I offer Person-centred counselling, Solution-focused Brief Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), symbolic modelling (using Clean Language), inner child work, equine-assisted therapy and life coaching.
Human freedom involves our capacity to pause between stimulus and response and, in that pause, to choose the one response towards which we wish to throw our weight.

If you are considering coming for counselling, you may be wondering what it involves - taking that first step can feel scary.
This brief introduction gives you an idea of what you can expect.
Perhaps something is troubling you and you would like to discuss it with someone who is neither a friend nor relative but who will listen to you and help you understand your situation; maybe you need support during a difficult period; perhaps you aren't even sure what the problem is - you simply have a vague feeling that things are not quite right.

Actuality Counselling offers Equine-assisted Therapy (EAT) as one of its services; the work is based on the EAGALA approach to EAT.
If you feel that you might benefit from EAT, please contact me to discuss.
Horses and humans have a long history of working together and this relationship has now extended into the area of healing.
The idea of using horses in physical therapy can be traced back to ancient Greece; various ancient texts refer to the life-affirming relationship between humans and equines.

Regular supervision is an essential part of sustaining good practice during a counsellor's working life.
It can help counsellors to develop personal resourcefulness, and provides them with ongoing opportunities to reflect in depth on all aspects of their practice in order to work as effectively, safely and ethically as possible.
The BACP stipulates that counsellors must have "sufficient supervisory time in order for them to maintain their wellbeing" (a minimum of 1 1/2 hours per month).
In addition, trainees must have at least one hour of supervision for every eight hours of counselling and should have fortnightly contact with their supervisor.

Actuality Counselling's coaching service can facilitate changes in your professional or personal life.
The International Coach Federation (ICF) has defined coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential".
The late Sir John Whitmore defined the goal of the coach as "building awareness, responsibility and self-belief."
If you are reading this, you may already be considering change as a business owner, an employee, a spouse, a student or, indeed, in just about any role you can think of.
