My Approach

The foundation to my approach throughout my work is to offer a safe, trusting and positive environment for all my interventions.  I have a MSc in Mental Health and Diploma in Brief Solution Focused Therapy, so you can be confident that my practice is underpinned by a sound knowledge base and years of experience. 

​

I worked as a Social Worker in both Child Protection and Mental Health before qualifying in therapy, and I now work as a Senior Lecturer in Psychological Therapies and Mental Health for a U.K. University.  I teach modules on mental health to undergraduates, as well as my specialities, attachment and trauma to post-graduates and professionals.  I lead the Continuing Professional Development programme in trauma informed practice, and I hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Higher Education.

​

 I have worked with a huge range of people over my career; from those who have very little to others who are in powerful, influential positions.  Everyone receives the same high quality service, based on their individual needs.​

PRIVACY & SAFETY

All therapy sessions are private and confidential.  Information would only be shared without consent if you were a serious risk to yourself or others.  I am insured to practice as a counsellor with Holistic Insurance.  As a registered member with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, you can be confident that my practice is ethical.  When we start working together, I will send you detailed information, so you are clear what to do in a crisis and how your information is stored and used.  I comply with GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.  I'm registered with the Information Commission (reg no.00013580040)

We can't solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them
