Ph.D Counselling, MA Counselling, BA (Hons), Adv. Dip. Counselling (Distinc.), Dip ERT, Cert STT, Cert. Supervision. BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist, Trainer and Supervisor
I have 20 years experience as a therapist and currently work in private practice as a counsellor/psychotherapist and clinical supervisor at the York Clinic for Complementary Medicine.
I have worked for almost 20 years as a lecturer in counselling and supervision in a University setting and I now work as a freelance trainer and consultant.
My approach to counselling and psychotherapy focuses on people’s strengths and helps them to develop resources and unused opportunities.
I work in a collaborative way in that I view people as experts on their own experience and myself as a facilitator of the process of change.
As a therapist I aspire to offer a therapeutic relationship that is warm, accepting and non-judgemental and in which people can be supported and challenged to find their own way forward and to work towards changes they would like to make.
As a Senior Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I am bound by BACP’s Ethical Framework and Complaints Procedures.
