counselling, cbt and psychotherapy

counselling supervision and training

welcome to my website.


umm... so you think you need counselling? ...


About me... well - about COVID and gdpr first. sorry.

IS Covid STILL A THING? Yes i guess…

I am happy to work remotely on-line with Zoom, FaceTime or Watsapp, or by telephone. 

My therapy rooms are large enough for safety and all reasonable precautions are taken. 

DATA PROTECTION:

Please be aware that should you contact me by email and become a client, I keep your e mails electronically for the duration of our relationship, then delete them at the end. I will keep them longer if our sessions have determined issues of risk or crime. Sorry to be one of these informed consent - opt in types, but I'll assume you're OK with this if you e-mail me! Please ask if you want more information. Thank you!!

Now those things are out of the way...

about me!

Hello, and thanks for taking time to look at my details. Hopefully you will find a fair bit of general information within this website, not only about how I work, but what you might need to know before choosing a counsellor to share your concerns with.

I am an NHS experienced Psychological Therapist / Specialist Counsellor / Clinical Supervisor and for ten years worked for the Acute Mental Health Team. I now have a private therapy and Supervision practice in Southsea and Newport, Isle of Wight.

I have great and varied practice experience and have endeavoured to become as qualified and well practiced as I possibly can as I have an extremely strong ethic toward giving my patients and clients my very best practice, whatever their concerns might be.


So if you are thinking of having counselling for issues like (and not only):

Anxiety (HEALTH, PANIC, PHOBIA, SOCIAL ETC.)
Depression
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
DISTRESSING INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS
mental health concernS, TRAUMA
WORRY, UPSET, FEELING LOW
CONFUSION
FamilY ISSUES, CHILDHOOD ISSUES
Panic
Relationship Issues

then don't hesitate to call to discuss what it is that is troubling you, and how you might be able to move forward.
