Profile / About Me

I am a fully qualified Dip H.E. counsellor and a full member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP) and work to their ethical framework. I am also a supervisor with The Forward Trust a UK nationwide organisation.

I have worked in the voluntary sector for “Change, Grow & Live” another nationwide organisation in the UK, supporting people with homelessness, addiction, and poor mental health. I have also worked in a community counselling setting with Ashford Counselling Service and Kent Counsellors.

I came into this work by way of personal and professional evolution and had to recognise and put right the legacy of my childhood experiences. I had to look at the ways i learned to adapt as a child and those adaptations that followed me into adolescence and adulthood. Through my own personal therapy experience I developed and qualified as a counsellor /therapist. I laugh and curse and you will always know you are with a real human being!

I bring a rich life experience around family issues, stepfamilies, and modern eclectic family life, ‎giving me personal insight into the complex world of family dynamics. I worked extensively in the music business as a working musician and sound engineer for many years and understand creativity. I have Tefal English teaching qualifications and have been active in-home schooling foreign students. I currently live and work between the UK and France.

 Approach: Integral / Trained in a Combination of different theories and approaches using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Psychotherapy, Existential & Humanistic models

I have been trained in a modern Integrative approach which means i use a wide range of different counselling techniques such as CBT, Humanistic, Psychotherapy & Existential. I believe that better self-awareness can achieve a higher sense of emotional and psychological wellbeing and lead to more effective and happier choices in life. There are many similarities between counselling and psychotherapy, and both seek to create a relationship where you as a client can find more effective inner resources to better understand your problems, therefore my approach is always tailored to individual need and what might work best for you.

Whatever way we decide to work, whatever the approach I always start by listening and tuning into your experience, to gain a greater understanding of the reasons you have decided to seek counselling. Through our work together I will help you become both more comfortable with who you are and more accepting of yourself, less anxious and self-critical.

It can be a difficult decision when going into counselling and a key moment in one’s life.
