About MeI run a professional counselling practice, which provides a safe, supportive space, in which clients can develop a clearer understanding of their struggles, difficulties and identify choices open to them.
I am experienced in working with a variety of difficulties including the following:
Couples counselling, anger management, relationships issues, abuse, bereavement, psycho-sexual issues, eating disorders, anxiety and stress, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), sexual issues, child related issues, career counselling, low self-esteem / confidence, bullying and harassment, phobias, post and pre termination / abortion counselling, CBT, sexuality, work related issues, trauma, body issues and parenting issues.
I work with a variety of clients, from all walks of life. Both privately and as part of funded contracts with public sector organisations.
I have extensive experience of designing, managing and delivering therapeutically based support programmes for adult individuals, young people and families.
I was one of four counsellors who developed the new online counselling service 'Beatbullying' an organisation delivering on-line counselling support to children, young people and adults who are struggling with face to face bullying and/ or the various forms of Cyberbullying.
I also run Dance movement / Body awareness dance classes, in the Surrey area. These classes provide an opportunity for exploration of any psychosomatic symptoms, whilst also promoting over all well-being, a sense of fun, playfulness and fitness.
Due to the pace of life for many people, in addition to face to face counselling, I currently offer counselling support via email, Skype and telephone.
- Counselling space whether face to face, on-line support, or via telephone, offers time in which to explore of range of issues that can cause stress and anxiety in our lives.
- The relationship between counsellor and client in counselling is different from a social relationship, as it can provide a professional space in which to explore past and present thoughts and feelings, to help better understand current struggles or difficulties.
