I have been working with clients since 1998 and hold a Masters Degree in Integrative Psychotherapy and a professional qualification - U.K.C.P. Registered Psychotherapist (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy). I also have a Diploma in Groupwork, and am registered as a Groupwork Practitioner with the Institute for Group Analysis.
Although my original core theoretical model is Transactional Analysis (T.A.), I have, and continue to develop, a way of working that focusses on the unique circumstances, experiences and needs that each person brings to therapy.I have a long-standing love of the outdoors, and enjoy much of what these experiences offer. Personal creativity, appropriate humour, courage and resilience, thoughtful honesty, as well as supportive and challenging relationships are important to me.
I am committed to ongoing development as part of my professional and personal journey. I am a long established member of a monthly Senior Practitioner CPD group in Leeds and also in York.

Counselling is an intervention that involves the development of a safe and confidential relationship between therapist and client.
This provides opportunities to develop and update your understanding of how you view and relate to yourself, others, and the wider environment.
Sometimes our long established and familiar ways of managing challenges in our experience can impede or limit our capacity to lead fulfilling and contented lives.
The learning that can be gained from the therapeutic journey can provide the needed challenge and support to help us to work through both one off life events and also repeating patterns of apparently unresolvable dilemmas.

Group therapy comprises ongoing 90 minute weekly meetings for a maximum 8 group members to work on a wide range of challenges that they wish to understand and resolve, in a safe and confidential context.
The Conductor administers the group and facilitates the group process.
Important learning from groupwork is gained through both direct interaction and through observing and listening to others.
As the group develops, long-established ways of relating emerge, presenting opportunities to understand their meaning, and experiment with different ways of relating that can lead to more satisfactory and enduring outcomes for all.

The work can either be time-limited with an agreed number of sessions, or open-ended.
This will be discussed and agreed during the assessment phase of the work.
In either case, the overall goal(s) of therapy are sought to be clarified, so that both I and you will know when it is time to start thinking about and agreeing and end date for the work.
The difference is not absolute, and this is my understanding.
Both trainings share considerable common ground, but Psychotherapy demands a longer, more in-depth training and personal therapy.
