I am committed to providing counselling, psychotherapy, hypnobirthing & hypnotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.
I was originally trained Psychodynamically. However my approach has become more Integrative. My psychodynamic orientation is a way of exploring the past which can influence the present distortions. CBT can assist in helping to recognise links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and promote a more comfortable way of being for the client.
I have a BSc in Psychology (Hons) Surrey University. Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling (Albany Trust. Postgrad, Humanistic Counselling and Supervision. Diploma (Roehampton Institute, Diploma in Hypnosis and Psychotherapy N.S.H.A.P. (Regents College) Certificate in CBT Birkbeck. Group work Richmond College.
I specialised as a Hypnotherapist and as I felt this would be an added tool in my therapeutic work. I am able to treat all areas of addiction, phobia, habits and fears. I have treated a variety of problems over the years, ranging from stopping smoking or more complex issues such as panic attacks, post traumatic stress, sexual problems or OCD.
I work with couples (looking at psychosexual and/or relationship issues). I also have an interest in helping young people and teenagers. as a mother of three I feel able to be empathetic.
Alongside the other treatments that I am qualified to provide I also conduct courses on Hypnobirthing, which gives the pregnant mother, and their birthing partners, techniques and strategies that enable mothers-to-be to birth with confidence. Also the birthing partners to be more involved and supportive. We instruct in techniques that provide the mothers-to-be and their partners to experience the joys of being fully involved in "their" birth.
A fully supportive process enables the birthing mother to feel confident in her ability to "birth" her baby. Our methods will provide her, and her partner, with the belief that she has all the skills and abilities that she needs in order to have a fulfilling, moving and life-enhancing birth experience!
In the last few years I have trained as a Life Coach and am also a Supervisor of Counsellors and Hypnotherapists.
I work with individuals and couples, on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling individuals to enhance their lives and to live more fully. I am an Integrative Counselling Psychologist and Hypnotherapist with 20 years experience. I use a combination of Psychodynamic, Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioural therapies in my work, a way of exploring how the past can influence and distort the present and then using CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to become aware of the thoughts, feelings and actions to implement activating and utilising the expertise and resources that the client already posseses.
I am committed to ongoing personal development and have regular supervision.
