I am an experienced and qualified Psychotherapist with an Advanced Diploma in Client Centred Counselling. I have an ongoing commitment to training and personal growth. I respect the BACP code of ethics. I practice in the Portsmouth, Southsea and surrounding area. I have worked for many years with adults and young people in private practice, the voluntary sector and as a counsellor within the NHS Primary Care Service. I work creatively in a way that suits each individual or couple.
"My intention is to listen, understand and help you come to a greater understanding of your unique world, your circumstances and how you can move forward."
"I believe in the uniqueness of each individual; Having a deep personal commitment to all aspects of equal opportunity and a respect for diversity."
Alongside my therapy work with individual clients and couples I work with groups providing training and workshops including; Confidence and assertiveness, anger management, working with sexual minority clients, sexuality, gay affirmative practice, volunteering and basic counselling skills.
I have been engaged to provide training by organisations in the voluntary sector, the NHS and the W.E.A.
I have recently worked with young offenders and vulnerable young people in a secure residential unit, working with individuals and small groups around anger management and behaviour change coupled with building confidence and self esteem.
