My initial consultation sessions are free of charge and carry no obligation. Please use the menu on the right to learn more about what I offer, or view this slideshow.
I use an integrative approach; this means that different models of therapy are used together creatively, making a unique blend for each individual client. Whatever requirements you may have in terms of bodywork treatments and counselling, whatever you need, I am very happy to tailor sessions to suit you. If you're not sure what would be best, feel free to call or email me.
I am a Humanistic practioner and a member of the UKAHPP. The following statements are part of our core beliefs:
The aim of personal growth is self awareness and actualisation This means in part:
1. to bring oneself to a state of wholeness and completion in whatever way one experiences this;
2. to gain sovereignty over one's life, to be authentic;
3. to be emotionally competent and to further one's creativity and one's search for truth, meaning, love and relationship with oneself and with others;
4. to relate to others in ways that demonstrate awareness of and respect for difference;
5. to heal past and current wounds and traumas;
6. to achieve integrity and autonomy while acknowledging mutual interdependence with others and with the environment.
