I am a Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life Coach and Trainer with over twenty years’ experience in assisting individuals and organisations to enhance their performance and effectiveness both personally and professionally. Which leads to the resolution of psychological, emotional pain, distress and reduced inter-personal conflict.
My aim
My aim is to inspire hope and contribute to the positive mental health and well-being of my clients, enabling them to make the changes they desire whilst overcoming doubts and self-limiting beliefs in the most unobtrusive way.
How I work
Working in a Humanistic and Integrative way means that I respect your uniqueness and I see you as a person not your diagnosis and I do not advocate to a one size fits all approach to therapy. The therapy I offer is individually structured to meet your needs, respectful of your innate ability and resources to make the changes you desire.
Integrative means that my practice is informed and guided by a range of evidence-based models of psychotherapy which enhances the efficacy and choices available to resolve your issues, rather than being reliant on a single model approach.
What I can offer
The most up to date research into psychotherapy and counselling indicates that the greatest predictor of a successful outcome in therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client. I can offer a relationship that is respectful, empathic and free from judgement in a safe contained space where we can explore your issues together.
Whether you are looking to resolve or work through a specific problem either personal, relational or professional in counselling, or have a particular goal you would like to achieve such as increased confidence or to resolve a fear or phobia, or you want to enter longer term psychotherapy for more complex issues I can help.
What do others say?
Clients I have worked with frequently report that they feel motivated and confident in their ability to cope with the challenges that life presents, with an increased ability to adapt to change; master their emotions; make better decisions; challenge and change automatic negative thoughts and behaviours; with reduced levels of anxiety.
When and where will the sessions take place?
I am based in the Nottinghamshire and Ashfield Districts.
I offer day time and evening appointments.
Monday to Friday 9.00am-8.00pm.
Saturday 9.00pm-1.00pm.
