What to Expect
Would you like to feel more supported in your life? Would you like to explore difficult experiences and emotions with someone who is outside your friends and family? Counselling and Psychotherapy can provide the opportunity to learn about yourself. To be able to connect to an inner sense of solidity and to learn how to protect oneself. To feel more at home with yourself and other people. To build internal resources like self confidence, self forgiveness and tenderness. To feel more open, more relaxed and more alive in your every day life.

Areas of Speciality
I work as a Body psychotherapist which is a non invasive powerful form of Psychotherapy. It is particularly useful for; anyone who has experienced trauma, persistent body symptoms and illness, those who feel uncomfortable or disconnected from their bodies, those who want to find a way beyond words to explore themselves and anyone who wants to discover more about their body.

As a counsellor and body psychotherapist I work with a broad range of issues some of them are; Anxiety, Addiction, Death and bereavement, Relationships, Childhood abuse, Sexuality, Spirituality.

About Counselling and Body Psychotherapy
In my work my aim is to encourage clients to find a way back into trusting themselves that who you are at core is Ok. As Mary Oliver says in her beautiful poem ‘the Wild Geese’ “You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.” I believe that through a supportive, lovingly challenging relationship we can all find more wholeness and peace in our lives.

About Me
I have been working in private practice in Stroud for over ten years. I bring to my work a professional approach allied with a willingness to be open and flexible to meet each client.

I also work as a supervisor and trainer, running continuing professional development courses and workshop on Body Psychotherapy themes. In 2006 I initiated GLOSNET a networking organisation for Gloucestershire based Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

Opening Hours/Available days
I am available for session’s daytime and evenings Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings.

I work both in Stroud town centre from a quiet, spacious, self contained, studio in a rural location near Brimscombe just outside Stroud. If you feel drawn to working with me, want further information or to book an introductory meeting please email or give me a call.
