Me as a therapist
With years of experience in the counselling field, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through various life challenges and emotional struggles. My journey began with a strong academic foundation in Person Centred counselling, which has equipped me with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively assist clients. Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse settings, including private practice, community organisations, and third sector, allowing me to develop a well-rounded perspective on the unique needs of different populations.
In my counselling practice, I specialise in person-centred therapy, focusing on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions. I have successfully guided individuals through issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties, tailoring my approach to meet their specific needs. My commitment to ongoing professional development ensures that I stay current with the latest research and techniques in the field, enabling me to provide the most effective support to my clients.
Me as a supervisor
As a person-centred supervisor, I offer a reflective and supportive space for therapists, trainees, and trainers to explore their work with honesty, curiosity, and care. I see supervision as a collaborative relationship where your voice is central, and where challenges, insights, and uncertainties can be shared openly. Grounded in empathy, authenticity, and mutual respect, I aim to nurture your confidence, ethical awareness, and professional growth while honouring your unique way of being and working.
My approach honours the unique wisdom and potential of each supervisee, fostering growth, resilience, and ethical practice in a safe and trusting environment.
Me as a Trainer
In my role as a trainer, I bring a person-centred approach to learning, one that values experiential exploration, open dialogue, and the development of self-awareness alongside practical skills. I strive to create a learning environment that is inclusive, respectful, and empowering, where trainees feel safe to question, reflect, and grow.
I also offer support with research, helping trainees navigate the often complex process of developing research questions, engaging with ethical considerations, and making sense of their findings. Whether you're working on a formal project or exploring areas of interest, I aim to guide you with encouragement, clarity, and a deep respect for your unique voice as a developing practitioner.
My overall attitude
Building strong relationships is at the heart of my work. I believe that trust and authenticity are essential for effective counselling, and I strive to foster an atmosphere of openness and respect. My clients often describe me as empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental, qualities that I prioritise in every session. By empowering individuals to take an active role in their healing journey, I aim to support them in achieving their personal goals and enhancing their overall well-being.
As a person-centred supervisor, I bring the same relational depth and commitment to those I support in their professional practice. I offer a reflective, collaborative space where therapists, trainers, and trainees can explore their work with honesty and curiosity. Supervision with me is grounded in mutual respect, empathy, and a belief in each person's capacity for growth. Whether you're navigating challenges, celebrating progress, or seeking clarity, I aim to walk alongside you with presence and care.
