A qualified Therapist, Mediator and Fieldwork Supervisor, I support people within Organisations, Educational Establishments and Private Individuals who are going through stressful periods in their life. I believe Positive Mental Health and Resilience is increased by the development of good Self-esteem, Confident behaviour and Meaningful Relationships. Exploring self-limiting beliefs and behaviours, firstly understanding how they may have originated and but more importantly how they can be changed. Developing Self-awareness is both Motivational and hence empowering.
As a Counsellor my approach is an eclectic, integrated model combining the most useful elements from a wide range of therapies. My practice includes a large percentage of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). CBT is a very solution focussed approach, so the work can be brief yet extremely effective. My work is Client-Centred and specifically tailored to meet individual client requirements.
I have had extensive experience of working with Adults and Young People, helping them find solutions to their problems. Over many years my work in both the Public and Private Sector has included providing; Extensive work in Educational settings both Secondary and F.E. Youth and Community work, Mentoring, Coaching, Mediation, Employee Assistance Programmes, Fieldwork Supervision and Training. Counselling Individuals, Couples and Families.
I have operated my own consultancy since 2002. However, more latterly, I work with a team of Associates, who are equally qualified and similarly experienced. This enables a more comprehensive provision for Schools and Colleges.
