Hope is at hand…
My first hope as a counsellor is that you will feel both ‘heard and understood’.
I accompany people in exploring their inner world — a landscape that is often hidden from others and, at times, even from themselves.
My therapy practice
I am a fully accredited UKCP Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, based in Cheltenham working with clients facing a broad range of issues; including being anxious, stressed or feeling ‘lost in the world’; as well as those seeking meaning or purpose in life.
I support individuals coping with significant life changing events such as serious illness, redundancy, divorce or bereavement, and I also help those struggling in relationships or with parenting.
I am professionally registered with UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
About Me
I bring a wide range of personal and professional experience to my work and offer a variety of therapeutic approaches within the context of both short- and longer-term counselling.
As a therapist, I hold an Advanced Professional Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling (DipHIC), having trained at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling.
I am fully insured, rigorously trained, professionally supervised, and adhere to the ethical frameworks of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I have spent many years working in different countries as an intercultural consultant for international organisations. In a world rich in diversity, this experience helps me appreciate how cultural context shapes and influences the ways in which we experience life, understand ourselves, and relate to others.
In addition to my therapeutic work, I have a background in senior leadership as a former Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (FCIPD). Prior to working in business, I served for several years in the British military.
Locations and Fees
I am based in central Cheltenham at The Practice Rooms on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I offer sessions between the hours of 8am to 5pm.
Fees are £65 per session.
“Ultimately, counselling is a process of self-discovery; in which we try to ‘make sense’ of our lives, and come to terms with ourselves.”
