My therapeutic work is based on over 30 years' experience of working with children and adults. I always try to help my clients feel welcome and safe enough to share their difficulties with me. Choosing to have therapy may be the first step in your journey to self-healing and I always feel privileged to be a part of each client's unique journey.
I am passionate about providing support that is both holistic and person centred. As an integrative counsellor, my approach is tailored to each person I work with. Using a combination of different techniques, we can work towards ensuring that you have the tools to help you move on with your life both emotionally and practically.
I love working with animals and have been able to use my training to help clients, both humans and animals. I have used Reiki (since 2006) and EFT (since 2010) when working with animals. I find they are incredibly receptive to energy healing and so respond extremely well to both forms of treatment.
I regularly attend training sessions, talks and conferences in a range of topics related to therapeutic pratice in order to keep my knowledge refreshed and up to date. Some of the most recent workshops I have attended are:
