My Approach
I am an integrative counsellor which means that I have been trained in a variety of counselling theories and practice. My approach will always be to start with you and your experience. By getting to know you and developing our relationship, we will together help make sense of what brings you to counselling. Having the space to explore your thoughts, feelings and actions will help identify how you can be more in control, and be able to move forward in a way that is best for you.
I am also trained in delivering EMDR therapy. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It is a therapy used to help people recover from distressing events and the problems they have caused, like flashbacks, upsetting thoughts or images, depression or anxiety.
EMDR is recognised by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Supervision
I am a highly experienced and trained clinical supervisor, working with experienced therapists in organisations and private practice. I offer collaborative, deep-dive clinical supervision for qualified therapists looking to explore complex relational dynamics, unpack blind spots and sustain a resilient, long term practice. I also offer group supervision designed for frontline staff in workplace environments ( housing associations, domestic abuse charities and the NHS, further education etc) to support resilience, ethical practice and team cohesion.
