Training and Approach

My initial training with adults is in Emotion-Focused Therapy, which I have found to be a wonderful approach to really help clients find the root cause of their struggles. My practice has now developed to draw on an integrative model, which means I work in a variety of ways in order to tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, whatever they may be. My therapeutic way of counselling with adults means that I may also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Person Centred activities or solution focused strategies with you, amongst many other ways of working, depending on what you tell me you want help with. I have found over the years that this is the most effective way of helping others.

My Therapy Lodge
Counselling is a partnership and the most important factor in ensuring counselling makes a positive difference is that the client feels they can trust the therapist and they develop a good working relationship.

Warm and welcoming
My practice is sensitive to the needs of all individuals, offering a warm and safe space for you to explore your story and support you non judgementally on your way forward.

Effective approach
I attend regular supervision and professional training so that I can ensure the help I give you is really effective and evidence based.

“Thank you ever so much. How I feel today from our first session is hard to describe. I just didn’t want to speak to anybody about what had happened/ You showed me that there is light at the end of the tunnel and I am grateful you helped me through the darkest time of my life and I can’t thank you enough”.
