About me
I have over 25 years’ experience providing therapy and therapeutic support for individuals and groups as a Counsellor, Psychotherapist, as well as offering clinical supervision to creative arts therapists.
My work is grounded in counselling and psychotherapy, and our sessions can be entirely conversational. Alongside this, my training in dramatherapy and creative therapeutic approaches allows me to offer additional ways of exploring feelings and experiences where helpful. There is no expectation to work creatively, and we will always work in the way that feels most comfortable and supportive for you.
Alongside my clinical work, I am a CAST approved supervisor and provide supervision using creative methods to support therapists including counsellors, psychotherapists and arts therapists. I value reflective practice and maintain my own ongoing professional development to support my work.
