About Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

\"\"<\/figure>

I am a warm and open counsellor with a gentle, yet challenging approach. My hope is to create a relationship between us that will facilitate you connecting with your own inner wisdom, in order to overcome any difficulties you are wanting to think about.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working relationally means I focus on what is happening in the here and now between us, so as to create meaning and understanding around your experience.  I will also support you in looking at how unhelpful patterns from the past, may be interfering with your life today. Together we can explore new ways of meeting life\u2019s challenges and focus on what you want to achieve. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In my free time I\u2019m passionate about self-development so I attend many workshops.  This means I am always bringing new insights and understanding into the way I work.  It allows me to integrate a variety of skills, which means more flexibility and creativity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I worked in the world of IT prior to retraining as a therapist. I have a background in managing people and problem solving which has been very helpful in my current role. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I have trained as a Couples therapist with Internal Family systems Level 2 IFIO couples. I am also a Level 3 trained IFS therapist. I am currently studying Relationship Life Therapy which is a couples therapy certificate by Terry Real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally I trained as an Integrative Therapist at the Bath centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BCPC) and have over 13 years experience working as a private counsellor. I have a private practice in Park Street, Old Market and Kingswood where I offer Integrative Psychodynamic therapy and Couples Counselling, as well as Internal Family Systems therapy, Shadow work and Supervision. I offer short and long term contracts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I taught on the Counselling Foundation course at Bath Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BCPC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition I managed the counselling Service at Weston College, which has over 30,000 students from 2017 until 2023. I worked with ages 16 to 60, generally in a short-term model. Additionally, I supervised a team of 9 counsellors both in group and one to one supervision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I runs two psychotherapy inpatient groups at well known private hospital. I offer short and long term work with couples and individuals there also. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
