About Me

Hi, 

   I would really like to help you with your concerns, so please do contact me to discussthis further. I work with children, teenagers and adults, when present difficulties require more than the help of family and friends, and  the support of an experienced trained professional can be very helpful in finding the way forward again. 

I am an integrative counsellor, which means that I am fully trained and accredited by the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, so I am able to work with a range of theories and techniques, so that you are able to explore which techniques are most comfortable for you. 

I am trained in a range of therapeutic theories; Person-centered Counselling, Psycho-dynamic Counselling, Solution-focused counselling and CBT, but I am also fully trained in more creative techniques such as Jungian Kalffian Sandplay. This is a very gentle, soothing but very powerful and effective technique as it engages the unconscious mind, when figures are chosen to make a picture in the sand. It is highly recommended  for children, teenagers and adults, but is especially helpful to anyone who is less keen to talk directly about their concerns. It helps all areas of the emotions and personality regain their balance, so it is very effective for all emotional difficulties  but particularly anyone who has experienced  attachment difficulties; such as anyone who has been adopted or fostered.

I am also trained in “ The emotional freedom technique” or tapping, which is particularly helpful for stress, anxiety and strong feelings in general, and again is helpful for all ages. 

I have developed and written professional articles on two therapeutic drawing techniques, and use these alongside other creative work.

I am particularly experienced in working with all forms of anxiety, self confidence, depression stress and loss with all age groups, and in sleep difficulties, bullying and peer difficulties in children

Do get in contact to discuss how I can help
