About meHello there! You've taken the first step and I'm here to help. As a therapist, my role is to use my skills to enable you to become self-aware, to see your potential and to take steps to reach it. I am the facilitator and you are in the driving seat! I can support you whether you are in crisis and your world is falling down around you or you just would like to understand yourself better.Therapy doesn’t have to take years; I am trained to enable you to get to the seat of your problems. You will gain a better understanding of who you are and why you may be feeling stuck - often we set up patterns where the players may be different but the issues are the same! We will look at your current situation and the tools you have to work through your issues, together with how you developed your core beliefs about yourself, your relationships and the world [based on childhood perceptions]. Using this insight, I will help you understand yourself better so that you can make choices so that you create a happy and fulfilling future.It is not what we have.. but how we use what we have! As adults, we are responsible for our destiny and the consequences of our actions; we are not victims but survivors. Being employed within the field of mental health and disabilities, I am also committed to providing support to people with disabilities and to carers.I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with over 20 years experience providing counselling and coaching for life. I also work in Adult Social Care, specialising in mental health and disability, [since 1985]. I also specialise in trauma work and PTSD and am qualified in EMDR.
