COUNSELLOR

DTM DHTC DIP GESTALT THERAPY

I first qualified in counselling in 1994 from the College of Holistic Medicine in Glasgow, thereafter undertaking a number of years of training with the Gestalt Trust obtaining a Diploma in Gestalt Therapy in 1998. Since then I have continued studying in a number of other related areas, including more recently a foundation course in Core Process Psychotherapy.

I have worked as a counsellor in private practice for many years, been employed by the NHS and run a number of therapeutic groups for women. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and abides by their Codes of Ethics. In addition to my counselling practice, I also work in the field of Mental Health.

We all have times in our lives when we struggle. We may encounter specific difficulties arising from relationship or work problems, unresolved issues from the past or generally feel dissatisfied and lacking in direction. My aim is to provide you with a safe and supportive environment where you will be encouraged to explore your inner life, your relationship with the world and others and what you are thinking or feeling in the moment. This can increase awareness and insight and help you move forward making more effective and creative choices so that you can have a more satisfying and fulfilled life.

I consider the quality of the therapeutic relationship to be an integral part of the healing process and aim to bring to my work my willingness to be present with compassion, honesty and humour.
