ABOUT ME

I trained as a counsellor for several years.  Throughout this time I became increasingly convinced about the benefits of talking therapy.  As a result I strongly believe in the potential for growth and change that counselling can bring.

​I have a breadth and depth of experience from diverse settings.  As well as my private practice, I provide counselling to a charity which supports adults recovering from trauma caused by road traffic accidents.  Further (previous) experience includes working for an Oxford-based charity providing counselling to survivors of sexual and domestic abuse.  Before training to become a counsellor, I worked in the corporate world for 20 years.

​I am an accredited registered member of the National Society of Counselling and Psychotherapy (NCPS) and on the Professional Standards Authority register.​  I undertake regular supervision, in which my work with clients is overseen.  I offer a flexible approach based on your needs, which includes weekly, fortnightly or ad hoc sessions, to individuals aged 18 and over.

My therapy office is in a peaceful, rural setting and separate from my house, with off-street parking.  It is easily accessible by wheelchair.​​​​
