Counselling

Counselling is an opportunity for understanding, personal growth and change. I provide a confidential space for you to explore what is troubling you and my practice aims to support your move towards a more empowered, comfortable way of being.  We can do this, either through traditional talking therapy, or through gentle trauma informed practice. 

The first step is making an appointment for us to meet and see if what I offer feels right for you. I appreciate that this can feel like a big step and so I will endeavour to facilitate access to what you need to move forward.  

My training/experience:  I am registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I am fully qualified psychodynamic and truama informed counsellor with over 15 years of experience working with adults 18+ providing both long term and short term counselling.

I graduated with a undergraduate Degree in Psychology and Philosophy and Post Grad in Psychology. I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling from Leicester University and a level 5 diploma in Somatically informed trauma therapy from the CPCAB.   I am also fully qualified for online/telephone counselling and short term solution focused work.  

I have worked in mental health/counselling for over 20 years and most recently was the Clinical Coordinator of a counselling charity in Bedford for 6 years.  

I am qualified integrative supervisor  (Level 6 Certificate, CPCAB) and offer individual supervision to  qualified or student counsellors.
