I am a humanistic & integrative practitioner. That means that I work with you on the issues and areas that you identify. I will put my knowledge at your service to enable you to change or accept the areas of your life with which you are less than content. All research identifies the relationship established between client and counsellor as the single most significant factor in a positive outcome. Consequently my first concern will be to establish a working allianace with you in order to further your goals. Once this is achieved I will share my knowledge and thinking with you to help you resolve the issues you have approached me with. Additionally I offer online counselling and consultative supervision to qualified and trainee counsellors.Qualifications & Training

I have trained extensively in gestalt psychotherapy. Also CBT, person centred therapy, solution focused therapy and psychodynamic thinking inform my work.Experience
I have over 20 years experience as a full time counsellor, initially in the university & college sector. Since 2002 I have been in independent practice. This means that clients come to me because they have search for assistance on directories such as this, through referal by another professional such as a GP or through word of mouth. Additionally I work for a number of Employee Assistance Programmes, the Prison Service, Barnardos, and Social Services.Fees
I have a sliding scale from £35.00 to £60.00 per therapeutic hour for individual counselling. £45.00 to £75.00 for couple counselling. £42.00 to £60.00 for consultative supervision. Online counselling fees are also on a sliding scale but £5 less than face to face fees.
