I have over 18 years of experience of working with children and almost 11 years with adults.
My work is always client centred and I pride myself on upholding confidentiality while following safeguarding practises.
Client information is always securely stored and maintained.
I am fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS certificate which makes it possible for me to work within schools either as an outside service provider or with private clients who feel their children will be better supported by face to face sessions rather than online.
Face to face sessions are only offered to children and only in certain circumstances and would be subject to their school supporting these private sessions.
As a counsellor and Psychotherapist I can support clients in a variety of ways but please be aware that I am NOT a Psychiatrist or a Psychologist and as such can not make a clinical diagnosis or issue a prescription.
My philosophy
Individuality
I respect and value the uniqueness of each person and therefore adapt my therapy to your individual needs.
Responsibility
I take my responsibility as a psychotherapist seriously and am committed to providing you with the support and guidance you need.
Appreciation
I value each person as an individual and recognize your strengths and weaknesses in order to offer you a supportive and respectful therapy.
Competence
With my many years of experience and my in-depth training in psychotherapy, I am competent and qualified to offer you the support and guidance you need.
Structure
I structure our therapy sessions clearly and transparently to ensure that we can achieve your therapy goals together and measure your progress.
Transparency
I am transparent in my work and communicate openly and honestly with you about your progress, challenges and goals to ensure that you are always informed and involved.
