MY DETAILS

My Approach

I value each person's individuality and unique circumstances. My experience and training includes working with a range of approaches and strategies. Most people have found that our way of working together and the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor.

My focus is less about techniques or analysis and more about exploration, providing an external perspective, helping to shed light upon the obstacles in your life, so insights can be gained to change the areas you want to change or manage your life differently.

My role is to get to know you and for you to develop a greater understanding of yourself and others in a safe, confidential and supportive environment. Working at your own pace, I offer guidance and support so fresh ways of seeing yourself, the options and making choices become available. We may look at where you would like to be in your life and what prevents you getting there, so far.

My affirming approach is to be alongside you, and the issues you bring to therapy, so the choices you make, enrich rather than limit life. I hold the view that each person takes responsibility for the way they use therapy in their life – so the outcome is in the individual’s hands.

I aim to bring clarity and sensitivity to my work with warmth and humour, together with my passionate beliefs of self-determination and responsibility.



Aims Of Therapy

One key aim of therapy is to assist people in managing anytransitions in their life. Therapy is also about freeingourselves, moving away from what we don't want, towards what we do want. The therapy can include exploring how you re-create situations; looking at what’s in your control, what’s reactive,what’s choice. Holding that each of us are more than the impact of our history, we’ll look at what works in your life, what doesn’t and why some problems may continue. This may include exploring your feelings, beliefs and fears as well as your hopes, dreams, aspirations and values.

There may be something worthwhile you want that’s not working; how you see yourself getting there may also be important. Besides resolving or accepting conflicts, therapy is successful when we are freer to choose, resourcing our own clarity of thought, strengths and inner wisdom.




My Background

My interest in therapy developed in 1982. A qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist, in my practice I bring together over twenty-five years experience of working with people at points of change in their lives, both in the voluntary sector and privately. Over this period I have valued listening to people’s life stories. I acknowledge and aspire to share what I have learnt from others.

I have completed 7 years training in psychosynthesiscounselling and psychotherapy, drawn to it because it was described as a psychology of the soul.
