Experience

I am an experienced Counsellor, Supervisor & Lecturer with over 17 years of experience working in private practice in Reading Berkshire. I work one-to-one with adults over 18 years and I aim to offer a comfortable, safe, and non- judgmental space for talking therapy.
I have 2 years experience of working at Berkshire NHS Trust Eating Disorders Service, where I worked with clients who presented with more chronic and complex Eating Disorders.

My Therapeutic Approach

I work with a relational and integrative approach, drawing from person centred and psychodynamic theories of therapy.  This simply means we work together to identify your current difficulties, as well as explore experiences from your past which may be impacting your current life and relationships.

I offer both brief and long term therapy, depending on your individual needs. Working open-endedly enables us to work in much greater depth to identify and explore more complex and persistent issues.

Lecturer & Tutor

I am a Higher Education Tutor approved by CPCAB (Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body), to teach L2 Certificate Counselling Skills, L3 Certificate Counselling Studies and I currently teach L4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling courses at CPTA (Counselling & Psychotherapy Training Academy).

Counselling Supervisor

I offer one-to-one supervision to qualified and experienced counsellors both in-person and online (Zoom). My approach is Integrative and I work predominantly with Psychodynamic and Person Centred theories.

Continuing Professional Development

I am committed to professional development (CPD), and attend many seminars and workshops throughout the year to keep up to date with research and to develop beyond my formal training and experience. This also ensures I continue to work safely and effectively.
