MA MBACP
I’m a psychotherapist and counsellor trained in Transactional Analysis (TA) and person-centred counselling. I am a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and a qualified and experienced Supervisor of counsellors.
There are many approaches to therapy and no single style is right for everybody. My primary training was in Transactional Analysis and Person-Centred Counselling, but all BACP Registered psychotherapists commit to ongoing CPD (Continuous Professional Development) and I enjoy adding new ideas to the way I work. I don’t like labels but my approach could be described as relational and integrative – which means that I am interested in getting to know you. I am also interested in the therapeutic impact of creative writing and encourage my clients to write if they find this helpful.
I am open to whatever you want to bring to therapy, and our conversations are confidential. I’m particularly interested in working with issues relating to
• Relationships – with partners, families, friends or at work – I offer couples therapy too
• Stress, and especially working with people who have been signed off work
• Grief and loss
• Internal critical voices
• Exploring experiences of neurodiversity – more about that here
• Coming to terms with change
I had a career in medical publishing before starting my own small publishing business (and having some unexpected success along the way as a food writer). I know about the pressures of management and the highs and lows of self-employment. And about loss, grief, caring and late-diagnosed female autism.
I’ve seen my share of life events. And like many good counsellors, I only discovered the benefits of ‘talking therapies’ by experiencing them myself.
