The search for a therapist is a hugely personal one and the outlook for the
therapy depends on the quality of the relationship between the therapist and
client.
I am a qualified Person-Centred Therapist and an accredited ( this is a quality standard for experienced practitioners recognising the capacity for independent, ethical and competent practice) member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and
Psychotherapists)
I offer empathy,compassion and confidentiality in a pleasant warm space where you can
explore thoughts and emotions that are troubling you.
I am also a qualified CBT counsellor and can offer solution-focused therapy.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is a holistic approach that focuses on thoughts,
emotions, physical feelings and behaviours and how these may be
manifesting as, for example, anxiety and depression. This is a collaborative
approach to therapy which is research-based and effective. This involves
psycho education and an exploration of core beliefs giving the client the
tools to move forward.
​
I have lived a multicultural life both in the UK and overseas having had a
career in Education before Counselling. Whilst in Education I worked as a
Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) and Head of Inclusion in
International Schools both in the South of France and in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia. Here I worked with staff, parents and students putting in place
support for those with learning difficulties and those going through stressful
and difficult times.
​
Through the process of therapy, a person finds that they can learn to become
the person that they really want to be, their authentic selves. Through
counselling, you can strip away past conditioning and look at relationships
that do not serve you.
