I have an MA in Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy from the Karuna Institute and I am an accredited psychotherapist with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). My intention is to offer a safe, accepting, and confidential space where you are supported to explore any difficulties and issues that are troubling to you. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to explore your difficulties in depth and over a longer period of time to suit you. My practice is held within a non-judgemental and caring relationship in an environment of mutual trust and respect.
I am a fully qualified accredited and registered Counsellor with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). My initial training was Person Centred and Integrative and I have worked in private practice since 1999. I have experience as an Employee Work Based Counsellor and I work in this capacity with local governments and other agencies on a freelance basis. I have a background of thirty years in Social Work which has been mostly within the field of mental health and related services.
Areas of Psychotherapy and Counselling That I Work With

Further Information
Though my Psychotherapy approach is informed by Buddhist understanding there is no requirement for you to have, nor to embrace, any understanding of Buddhism or any other religious, philosophical or spiritual outlook.
