In my role as a supervisor, I prioritize supporting my supervisees in a relational and anti-oppressive manner, while adhering to person-centred values. This approach fosters their professional development by guiding them to work ethically and effectively. My supervisory experience is centred on supporting both trainee and experienced therapists in managing the challenges of their therapeutic, client work. I achieve this by creating a professional, constructive, and safe environment that promotes their growth while prioritizing the needs of their clients.

Counselling offers a safe confidential and non-judgemental space, accepting of who you are and what issues you bring. We are all individuals with individual needs and expectations, and we may deal with problems differently, that is why I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, expectations, and requirements. Throughout my personal and professional journey, I have found that speaking to someone who is unfamiliar to you and your environment is not only helpful but utterly beneficial to your overall well-being.

I work with adults, children and young people. Seeking psychological therapy can be a daunting task and my aim is to develop a trusting relationship where you feel able to explore troubling issues or experiences. The starting point is always what you would like to gain or achieve from therapy, followed by identifying, with you, the best ways of working towards your goals. Whilst I work primarily using trauma focused therapy, I have a breadth of experience and I draw on a wide range of approaches, depending on your needs and preferences.

People come to therapy for many different reasons and you don’t have to be in a crisis. Therapy can involve talking about emotions, difficult events and/or relationships, it can also be about behaviour change or dealing with negative thoughts. When describing the way I work, I often say, it is like two people going for a walk, along the walk, you may notice things and I may notice things, so together we bring these observations into awareness, to explore and process them. Yes counselling can be challenging, only with that challenge, from my experience it can also bring great rewards.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
