Individual Counselling & Personal Therapy
Helping you understand what is keeping you stuck and move towards a life that has you thriving rather than striving.
​
Sessions are arranged weekly. Therapy is tailored to individual needs and is not time limited.
Individual sessions to young people (age 16 -18 with parental consent) and adults for a variety of issues; depression, stress & anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem, unresolved childhood issues, trauma, bereavement, grief and loss, faith issues.
I can assist those individuals seeking personal therapy for their mental health and wellbeing and with their professional development as part of the requirements for counselling courses.
Couples Counselling
Helping you as individuals have a better understanding of yourself in the relationship and understand your couple fit so that you can connect better and learn how to work as a team.
​
I offer joint sessions to couples experiencing communication difficulties, conflict over the influence of family of origin or parenting styles or the impact of affairs and betrayal.
Counselling from a Christian worldview
Helping you, whether your are involved in church ministry or as a lay person, to explore in a confidential setting your understanding of your faith and how it applies to you living in an imperfect world.
The good news is that everyone has value and you don't need to be alone in whatever your calling or purpose in life.
My worldview is from a Christian perspective which means I accept everyone without judgement or condition. It does not exclude those from different spiritual experiences.
Clinical Supervision
I offer clinical supervision to counsellors for their clinical practice in accordance with requirements of professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.
Other professions can benefit from clinical supervision also so if you are in a caring or leadership role this might be something that would be of interest to you.
I particularly encourage social workers, medical practitioners and teachers to get support for the challenging jobs they do.

Confidentiality & Safeguarding Policy
Counselling is confidential but there are certain limitations. Sharing information is only ever done to safeguard you or another person/s. If you are at serious risk of harming yourself I may need to contact your GP. If you tell me that a child is being abused I have a legal obligation to inform Social Services. If I become aware of your intent to cause harm to another person/s or you give details of current or historic cases (e.g. terrorism) I have a legal obligation to inform an authority without seeking your permission. In such circumstances the law may require that I share your personal information without your knowledge. This confidentiality and safeguarding policy is discussed in detail at the initial assessment.
Supervision
As part of my registration and accreditation as a professional counsellor I am required to consult with a therapeutic supervisor. In order to protect your privacy no identifiable personal information is shared. I may refer to individual clients by code for the purpose of maintaining professional standards and aiding my professional development.
Therapeutic Will in the event of incapacity
In the event of my incapacity to continue with your therapy, e.g. through serious accident or death, I have appointed a colleague to act as my Therapeutic Executor. Your name and contact details alone will be shared so that you can be contacted and informed of the circumstances.
