MBACP (Accred) Counsellor
Based in central Kings Heath (B14).
Offering in-person, outdoor and online therapy.
Profile
I am a UKCP Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist and BACP Accredited Counsellor with over 20 years’ experience of working therapeutically with adults in various settings. These have included schools, the NHS, Higher Education and voluntary sector. This broad range means I have the breadth and depth of experience to help with many life issues.
My Approach
The approach I take is humanistic with Gestalt as the therapeutic core of my practice. I work with the whole person, including the context of your life, exploring the background and repeating patterns as well as whatever is causing difficulty now. I offer a holistic approach – believing that what may seem like isolated symptoms often reflect broader difficulties in our lives. Therapy sessions will usually include talking but sometimes also creativity with artwork, objects and movement, and occasionally can take place outdoors.
My Services
I offer both short and longer-term counselling and psychotherapy to individual adults. I am experienced in working with a range of issues that may cause anxiety and depression, stress and panic attacks, trauma and relationship difficulties. I have an interest in working with clients who have experienced losses of various kinds. With a background in education, both as a teacher and therapist, I also have experience around issues arising from childhood and working with children
Outdoor Therapy
Outdoor therapy is a well-established practice and can work in several ways – simply walking and talking; observing and utilising the natural environment for support; focusing attention on decision-making and what supports or interrupts this process; meditative practice. Sometimes the whole session can consist of walking and at other times it may be a mixture of walking, standing, sitting etc.
Outdoor therapy suits some people more than others but can be a useful alternative to traditional indoor or online sessions – however, it still follows the same parameters around confidentiality and time boundaries. Outdoor appointments are normally held in Highbury Park, between Kings Heath and Moseley.
Supervision
Supervision is available both individually and in groups for qualified and trainee counsellors/psychotherapists as well as others in the helping professions.
I also provide a range of bespoke training and consultancy to groups and teams. I teach various modules on the training programme offered by CSTD (Bath). I have a particular interest in developing reflective practice within organisations.
