About Me

Qualifications and Experience
I am a qualified and experienced counsellor. I hold a certificate in Pastoral Counselling and a Diploma in Pastoral Counselling from the University of Gloucestershire.

Since 2003 I have been counselling adults at 'Network', a voluntary counselling organisation in Bristol.

As an individual member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice and am subject to its complaints procedure.

My Counselling Approach
I am a person-centred integrative counsellor. I am able to offer work with creative techniques, eg stones, drawing, letter-writing, etc, as and when appropriate and only with the client's consent.

It is through the experience of the client-counsellor relationship and the exploration of painful issues together, that new understanding may be gained which enables change to take place.

I acknowledge and believe in the uniqueness of each individual. Therefore each client's belief and culture is respected without criticism or judgment. This client-counsellor relationship offers understanding and acceptance regardless of issues clients are struggling with.
