I offer Person-centred counselling, Solution-focused Brief Therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), symbolic modelling (using Clean Language), inner child work, equine-assisted therapy and life coaching.
About me and my practice
I offer a non-judgmental space and a therapeutic relationship within which you will feel safe enough to explore whatever issues you are facing. I will treat you with respect, make every effort to understand you and your experiences, and offer a genuine, empathic relationship.
Experience
I have been in private practice since 2001. I worked as a staff counsellor with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and am an affiliate counsellor with several UK Employee Assistance Providers (EAPs) offering therapy to Government departments as well as the private sector.
I have worked with the Young Persons Advisory Service (YPAS) in Liverpool, the British Association for Performing Arts Medicine (BAPAM), as well as with several other agencies.
I have also designed and delivered therapy-related workshops.

Additional Information
Therapy is about self-discovery and, where relevant, finding solutions which are right for you, rather than receiving advice or being told what to do. I will endeavour to faciliate this journey for you.
