I have wide experience of working within the NHS, private healthcare settings, addiction clinics / hospitals and have been in private practice over a number of years.  I offer space and time for you to consider the difficulties, dilemmas and concerns you are facing; a confidential and caring place where you can feel secure and supported - building a positive pathway forward that will last. Our work will be highly individually determined, dependent on your needs. Our first session will help decide how we move forwards, and what you would like to achieve. Confidentiality, individual respect, support and understanding are key to our work and its success.I hold professional postgraduate qualifications in humanistic counselling and psychotherapy and an Msc. in Addictions Psychology, from the Institute of Psychology and Neuroscience, which may be of particular interest to you if you are seeking support with alcohol, substance, or dependency concerns. My work with Macmillan's Cancer clients involves support of clients with diagnoses of limited life-expectancies and terminal conditions, as well as relatives and close family members impacted by these.  I am presently working on my research project, toward my doctorate in existential psychotherapy, which may be of particular interest for anyone who is seeking support around life-meaning, sense of purpose in their lives or a difficult experience of loss or bereavement. I also have wide experience of working with trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I am registered as a psychotherapist with the Universities Psychotherapy and Counselling Association (MUPCA) and comply with their ethical statement and codes of practice, in addition to those of the BACP and UKCP.
