Experience and Qualifications

Experience as a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor

I have experience of providing short-term counselling in the NHS (IAPT) and EAP (Employee Assistance Programme), and also open-ended and longer-term counselling and psychotherapy in my private practice. I have worked with adults of all ages.

Areas in which I have experience and special interest include:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Stress, including work-related stress
  • Mindfulness-based ways of working with anger and other emotions
  • Self-esteem, confidence and self-empowerment
  • Bereavement and loss
  • Trauma
  • Autism / Asperger's
  • Social awkwardness
  • Disabilities (especially sight-related) and illness
  • Creating balance between 'doing' and 'being'
  • Sexuality
  • Relationship issues - family, intimate relationships, clients' relationships with themselves and the world
  • Issues of meaning in life - e.g. in the contexts of ageing and 'mid-life crisis'
  • Creative expression
  • Spirituality
  • Intercultural issues
  • Creative ways of working with dreams
  • Time-related issues

As a qualified counselling supervisor, I offer supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists of any theoretical orientation, where they can discuss and reflect on their client work and wider related issues and be supported and encouraged in their ongoing professional and personal development. As in my client work, I encourage supervisees to be creative and to look from different perspectives.

In addition to my work as a counsellor and psychotherapist, I teach counselling at a college of further education and I run workshops on themes such as our relationship with time, beginner's mind, assertiveness, and working with fear. More themes to follow...
