I am a Registered BACP Accredited Counsellor. I am an integrative counsellor, which means I don't follow solely one school of counselling but am informed by a range of theories including Person-Centred, Attachment Based Psychodynamic Theory and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in my work. I adapt the way I work and the techniques I use to each client's individual needs.
I am also an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) Therapist and am a member of the EMDR Association UK & Ireland. Research shows that it is the quality of the relationship between client and counsellor which most affects the effectiveness of counselling. I aim to establish a good, collaborative, safe working relationship with you and help you make sense of what is happening in the 'here and now' as well as how the present is affected by your past experiences and relationships.
Through this understanding we can work towards your goals. I adhere to the ethical framework for good practice in counselling and psychotherapy of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Services
Counselling provides a safe and supportive environment in which to talk through your thoughts and problems and reflect on past and present events with a knowledgeable, non-judgemental professional.
It gives you a confidential place to 'let off steam' and express your feelings.
I will listen and help you explore and make sense of your feelings and behaviour.
As counselling progresses you may gain insights and work with me to find more helpful ways of coping with problems and feelings.
If it might be useful, I may give you self help tasks in between sessions such as keeping a diary or monitoring how you are thinking and feeling.

We will all, at some point in our life, experience the death of someone close to us, as well as other losses.
Some losses may be less spoken about in society such as the loss of a baby in pregnancy through miscarriage or abortion.
Other losses bring similar feelings too; the break up of a relationship; loss of health.
You may find that the bereavement brings other issues to the surface that make it harder to cope.
Sometimes you may feel that people are wanting you to 'get over it' but it is normal for the feelings of grief to come and go over a very long period of time.
