My modality and approach.

I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, educated and trained to postgraduate level in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling.

Humanistic counselling is a relational therapy, with a focus on meaning making and self-empowerment. This modality of counselling seeks to help individuals recognise their strengths, creativity and choice in the 'here and now', in order to live life more authentically.

You can find out more about the types of humanistic therapies here.

Continuing professional development.

I provide a dedicated professional service that involves monitoring of my own personal process through clinical supervision, further training and keeping up-to-date with professional, ethical and theoretical changes within counselling and psychotherapy.

I have undertaken specialist training in working therapeutically with:
  • Addiction and compulsive behaviours
  • Trauma
  • Identity
​​
​

All equal all different.

I have an extensive professional background in Equality & Diversity and Human Rights, the principles of which provide the foundation of my personal values and therapeutic practice.

I recognise that our personal characteristics, such as our gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity and physical and mental capacities affect our experience in the world.  I am committed to providing a non-judgemental space, within which all aspects of a client's identity and experience can be explored.  My therapeutic space and practice is LGBTQ+ affirmative.
