Therapeutic Counsellor, Clinical Supervisor & Lecturer
Experience & Qualifications
I am an experienced Therapeutic Counsellor, Counselling Supervisor & Lecturer with over 16 years of experience. My private pracitce is in Reading Berkshire, and I work one-to-one with adults over 18 years. I aim to offer a comfortable, safe, and non- judgmental space for talking therapy.
My Therapeutic Approach
As an Integrative Counsellor, I work predominantly with the Humanistic & Psychodynamic therapeutic approaches. This simply means we work together to identify your current difficulties, as well as explore issues or relationships from your past which may be impacting your present life or relationships.
I offer both brief therapy and long term therapy. Working open-endedly enables us to work greater depth.
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 on the L4 Diploma 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 my own personal and professional development (CPD), and attend many seminars and workshops throughout the year. This demonstrates my commitment to continuing to learn and develop beyond my formal training, in order to develop my skills further and to keep my knowledge up to date. This also ensures I continue to work safely and effectively.
