About Me
I am an experienced, qualified counsellor with a Diploma in Integrative Counselling accredited by British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I work holistically, and acknowledge the importance of the whole person - mind, emotions, body and spirit. My working experience includes Education, both adults and children and Family work including supporting and teaching parenting skills.
I particularly encourage expression and stress management via creativity and have had my work published. My approach is integrative, combining different theories and models. I aim to tailor these to suit you and your needs.

I work to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics and framework for good practice (www.bacp.co.uk/ethical_framework) and follow its rules relating to confidentiality.
As required by the BACP, I am in regular supervision and follow an ongoing programme of continued professional development.

About Counselling and My Approach to Counselling
My integrative approach combines these ideas:

*Everyone is in a state of change and development
*Most people live their lives in a framework of relationships
*Everyone has a past and what we do in the present has been shaped by what has occurred previously
*The success of any therapeutic work is dependent on a safe, confidential and respectful setting

Counselling often helps you gain a better understanding of your past and present conflicts, to recognise, appreciate and use your own resources and consider possibilities for dealing with difficult situations. This may involve clarifying choices and opportunities for bringing about change; or alternatively may help you come to terms with those aspects of your life that you are unable or do not wish to change.

Counselling is about working together in an honest, non-judgemental and supportive relationship at a pace that you decide.
