About Me and How I Work

As an integrative counsellor I work with a range of techniques & therapeutic practices, that I use to build a truly individualised approach to suit your particular needs. As part of my training I have worked with CBT, TA and Solution Focused approaches to help you get a fresh perspective on what’s causing distress, and to help you find a way forward. As a therapist I like to adapt my approach to suit the particular needs of each client.

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and have full professional indemnity insurance. I receive regular supervision and ensure I undertake regular, ongoing training and development to maintain the ethical standard of my work.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I trained at the Leeds Beckett University where I gained a Post Graduate Diploma Counselling & Psychotherapy.

I am also a qualified coach, having completed my Post Graduate Diploma Coaching Psychology some years ago.

Working in the corporate sector for the last 20 years as a personal and executive coach, I’ve helped lots of frazzled, stressed professionals & individuals find the resilience & skills needed to make mindset changes that stick.

More recently, I worked for a local charity providing general and bereavement counselling, and as a result have experience of a wide range of client issues.

I have also completed a course in the “Therapeutic use of Mindfulness” with the British Mindfulness Institute, so I’m qualified to offer mindfulness based techniques to help with issues such as anxiety, stress and depression.

Member Organisations

I am fully insured and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their Standards and Ethical Framework.

Fees

£50.00 per session
Free initial telephone or online session

I offer a free, initial phone call which is a chance for us to get to know each other and to see whether working together will be useful for you. If you decide to continue, each weekly session will be £50 and will last for 60 minutes.

Further Information

Daytime and Evening Appointments are available. You can email, text or call me and I’ll get back to you for an initial conversation about what you need.

I appreciate that it can be tough to make that first contact, but often people feel reassured once we’ve had that first chance to speak.
