My Background and Qualifications

My own personal therapy was a turning point in my life as I became aware of how important self-esteem and confidence is to make your own choices and not always to make choices to please others.

After completing a person centred diploma I soon realised the importance of building good relationships, a vital and important ingredient of human nature.

However, at any stage of life a relationship can start to become stale, this can cause a great deal of suffering and can have a devastating and wide-reaching effect.

Working with couples, families and young people has been a very inspirational journey for me to be able to offer hope to people who are stuck in behaviour together that is destructive to all….People ARE complicated, everything we do, say and think now is tied up with the experiences of our entire lives. Two people can have an apparently identical experience but both will view it differently because of the different feelings that they bring to it.

A relationship is like a plant, unless it is watered and nourished it will fade away and die, rather than flourish and grow in a healthy meaningful way.

EMDR Supervision

My EMDR supervision fees are £70 per hour and I am happy to work with both therapists in EMDR training, newly qualified EMDR therapists and therapists wishing to work towards EMDR accreditation.

I see EMDR supervision as a collaborative process, within which I encourage you to explore all issues that concern you in your work. My aim as a supervisor is to support you in this challenging vocation; guide you in working ethically for the best interests of your clients; widen your self awareness as a therapist and encourage you to build upon your skills. I support each practitioner to discover and consolidate their unique strengths and professional identity

I am a highly qualified, experienced and approachable Couples and Family Counsellor. I worked for RELATE for many years helping people to build strong foundations in their own relationships and to help couples and families to work through tough times and re-build new relationships
