My counselling, supervision and training practice has developed from my deep passion for helping individuals, counsellors and teams navigate personal and shared challenges. Starting out as a counsellor back in 2005, I have over many years dedicated myself to offering therapy, Counselling Supervision, and Suicide Prevention services tailored to each client's unique needs. 

Through hard work and a commitment to my professional growth, I decided to open my own practice offering professional services, training and  group work alongside individual and couples counselling for those seeking support and guidance. 

I have applied my extensive learning to provide highly safe and confidential spaces for those I work with to explore, unpack and better understand often complex and intrusive thoughts and emotions to discover their unique path towards  insight, understanding, healing and ongoing personal growth.

My approach to counselling is informed by my original training in Gestalt Therapy and enhanced by years of person centred experience in working with people in recovery from addictions, suicide behaviours, trauma, family and relationship difficulties. I strongly focus on what you are aware of in the here and now and how you are managing physically and emotionally. I offer both short and longer term counselling contracts depending on your needs and I am experienced at building safety first when embarking on in depth counselling and liaising with other services where needed. I work with individuals, couples and all my work is informed by my in depth knowledge of suicide prevention and harm minimisation.

Counselling Supervision

As a qualified Supervisor and seasoned manager of large teams of mental health practitioners in varied roles, I offer a model of clinical supervision tailored to your individual training, skill set, style and development goals. I encourage supervisees to engage in deep reflection during sessions to draw the learning from your experiences in your practice and help you to consistently hone and improve your therapeutic work. I am skilled at supporting counsellors from all training models and backgrounds to work safely and ethically, both face to face and online. Most importantly, my approach works with you holistically to ensure you develop fuller awareness of your own patterns of relating and the processes you create as a practitioner, deepening your self-awareness in a way that enhances the difference you make to the lives of those you work with.

Group Work & Training

I am an experienced group work facilitator and Master Trainer in ASIST Suicide Prevention. I can work and collaborate with groups, work places and teams looking to learn new skills in their Mental Health practice or to become Suicide Safer communities. Over the years I have led support groups for survivors of trauma and addiction and their families and carers. My training programmes are bespoke to the group’s learning needs and goals. I am passionate about diversity and designing and delivering training that meets different cultures and learning styles. I work with other local trainers to provide two day ASIST Suicide Prevention workshops which are suitable for all individuals looking to deliver Suicide first aid interventions.
