Supporting your well being
About me
I am a Counsellor, qualified to work face to face, and virtually via Zoom, or by telephone. Face to face work is done in Brackley, Northamptonshire, and Banbury in Oxfordshire.
As a counsellor, I provide a distinct service, by being completely independent of Brackley, with no personal connections in the area.
As a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor I use three core theory types - Person Centered, Gestalt and Transactional analysis . Some of the work has a creative format. How we work together is your choice.
I work with adults ,and children aged 11-18
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of counselling and Psychotherapy) and adhere to their ethical framework; which can be found at WWW.bacp.co.uk.. I hold an enhanced DBS certificate.
My Counselling Story
My counselling experience includes working with a national gambling addiction support agency, and separately with 11-18 year olds in a secondary school setting and for the NHS. I have also worked in special needs administration in a primary school setting for 19 years, and been Fellow of the Institute of Personnel Management ( FCIPD) for 25 years.
I offer both on going therapy, and single session therapy (SST) otherwise known as One At A Time Therapy(OAATT)
With single session therapy, I offer support for one session. The client can use the session to explore what they have learnt from the session, take time to process learning and then decide if more support would be useful, or understand what happens for them if the same situation arises in the future.
