Nearly thirty years ago now, I originally trained in counselling , followed by dramatherapy  (Reg.HCPC). I then went on to do further trainings in Integrative counselling with children and adolescents (Reg. MBACP).I am also a trained Supervisor (Metanoia 2021).I work in an integrative way.  This means I match the way I work to the needs and leanings of  my clients and supervisees. For some this means we might work very creatively, using the arts. For others we might draw on a more cognitive  behavioural approach and  psychoeducation, whilst for others it might be more of the traditional person-centred counselling approach. This is not a rigid plan, but one I am constantly assessing with my client as we move through the therapeutic process.Undoubtably, however, the most important aspect to the success of our  work together is through our relationship. I work in a person-centred and humanistic style whereby my clients’ and supervisees’ needs always take the highest priority. This is the fundamental bedrock to successful counselling , therapy and supervision. I also always strive to be very alive and alert to the wider context;  with a keen eye on intersectionality issues.Over the many years that I have been practicing as a counsellor and dramatherapist,  I have developed both my  long term and short term practice. Therefore I offer both. Once again, I  believe in  being flexible to what is appropriate for my clients.
