My Philosophy
Throughout my career, I believe in a simple approach to working with people I encounter. That, everyone has the capacity to reflect, grow, develop, change and achieve. And, with the right support every individual person has the ability to take responsibility for himself/herself, make their own decisions and resolve their issues. The future is bright. The future is full of possibilities. The future is hopeful.
My Profile
Before becoming a Counsellor, I acquired 20 years of managerial and directorial experience working in the Catering Industry. I am, therefore, well versed with operational, managerial, commercial and financial aspects of business.
Through my own continuous personal and professional development I am now an experienced Counsellor, Supervisor, Trainer and Life Coach. I am based in Dorset where I have my own private practices in Counselling, Supervision, Training and Life Coaching in Christchurch, Bournemouth and Poole.

Counsellor
I trained and qualified as a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor. I am a Registered Member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Reg MBACP). I observe the principles and code of practice as laid down by BACP Ethical Framework for Counselling and Supervision.
In addition to my private practice, I work in a higher education college as a Student Counsellor.
Whether I work with students or private clients, I provide a safe, comfortable and confidential space for all I work with to explore their issues and to process their deepest thoughts and feelings. I support and enable them to ultimately reach the best possible solutions to their problems.
The theoretical models I work with are Person Centred Counselling, Transactional Analysis (TA), Psychodynamic Approach, Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
