About me

I am a qualified Counsellor with a Diploma in Person Centred Counselling from Relate Training.

Having also trained with the Centre for Adolescent Rehabilitation and studied Neuro Linguistic Programming with 'Active Personal Development'.

I also offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and studied with the Oxford Cognitive Therapy Centre.

I have also trained with ADVA (Against Domestic Violence and Abuse) in Devon and work frequently with survivors of domestic abuse and people currently still in a violent relationship.

I am an Associate Lecturer in Counselling at Exeter College and to see details of the courses run there please follow this link www.exe-coll.ac.uk

Working as a counsellor in a GP surgery, and also in a local Health Centre has provided me with the opportunity of counselling a wide range of people with a variety of issues. I also work with adolescents at a local Secondary school.

I now run my own practice in East Devon.

I work with adults, teenagers and children. I also offer group therapy and training such as 'Assertiveness' together with work aimed at people with issues surrounding food. I have done some work with BEAT (eating disorders association).

I am also employed by a number of Employee Assistance Programmes and so it may be possible to contact me through your workplace who may then pay for any counselling.

 I use a variety of approaches tailored to each individual to help improve their ability to cope with their difficulties. I also teach skills and practical ways of dealing with situations. An example of this would be how to prevent panic attacks returning once someone has eliminated them.
