About me... I am an independent qualified counsellor & psychotherapist in private practice, registered and accredited by the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), and hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from LIFE-FORCE, Colchester.  I am additionally qualified to offer tailored hypnotherapy where such an approach is considered appropriate. Following over ten years experience counselling in London, I relocated to Plymouth   I also offer online video sessions as well as support by phone / messaging chat on the BetterHelp platform   I work within, and am guided by, the BACP code of conduct and ethical framework.  A humanistic and non-pathologicalising person centred core approach will be supplemented by other approaches that may include: Behavioural (e.g. CBT) - raising awareness of how small changes in thoughts may produce powerful changes in well being. Psychodynamic  - exploring unconscious elements that may have possibly evolved from childhood experience. Gestalt - appropriately challenging and promoting self-development in the “here and now”. Relaxation / mindful meditation techniques - refreshing and strengthening your inner resources and reinforcing desired change. Systemic (for couples) - exploring and addressing dynamic interactions within the relationship About you... Our ability to work together will be a very important element to successful therapy. Your first appointment is the best opportunity to find out whether I am the right counsellor for YOU.
