About me and my practice
I am a highly experienced therapist & feel very passionate about my work. I truly commit myself to offering you a sincere, caring, confidential & professional space. I aim to understand with true empathy, to listen without judgement and to use my skills to help you find a way forward with whatever problem or situation is causing you concern. I will not give advice, but will help you make your own choices, enabling you to talk freely, without fear of rejection, criticism or blame.
Throughout my years as a counsellor/psychotherapist, I have been very privileged to witness many people make lasting positive changes to their lives. I have also been fortunate to have spent 13 years at a highly reputable counselling service in Exeter where 90% of our clients were G.P referrals, giving me a wealth of experience in working with people with a variety of issues and difficulties, such as: Relationships, Low self-estem, Depression, Abuse, Bereavement and Losses, issues arising from childhood.
I work with Individuals, Couples and Families & am lucky to be able to offer flexible appointments times including evenings and intense weekend therapy.
Experience
While my children were growing up I was involved in local pre-school groups, being supervisor of a play school and an adult support worker at a family workshop. While in these roles, I was faced with adults and children going through emotional difficulties. Feeling inadequate and having experienced the benefit of counselling myself I felt I wanted to further my skills, consequently I started studying to become a counsellor and after completing the R.S.A. Counselling Skills and Certificate in Counselling Theory, I went on to completed my diploma and qualified in 2000.
Since then I have gained experience in many areas of counselling. My first posts were at a Youth Centre and a N.C.H. Family Centre in Tiverton where I gained experience in working with young adults and children.
I have also extended my qualifications by completing my Couple Counselling and Family Therapy courses and attend a variety of training and development day courses throughout the year.
I have been in private practice throughout my career as a counsellor/Psychotherapist
