Hello, thank-you for visiting my web site. I am an accredited counsellor offering short- and longer-term counselling for individuals.
I am also able to offer counselling supervision.
I completed a Diploma in ‘Mindful, and Contemplative Core Process’ supervision training (offered by The Karuna Institute, in Devon) in June 2023.
I offer supervision for qualified therapists and for those in helping professions. I have previously offered supervision for adult care social workers (as part of a role of senior social work practitioner for social services and the NHS)
I work from The Center for Whole Health, 12 Victoria Place, Bedminster, Bristol, BS3 3BP (where I’m also a co-director)
I offer zoom and telephone counselling and supervision on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons, and in person sessions on Mondays 2-7pm and Friday mornings.
The way I work
I practice an integrative blend of counselling designed to best suit you. Maybe you sense you need a one-off or a short series of sessions to address a particular issue or goal. You may be looking for a longer explorative counselling experience. The choice is yours to make.
I am relatively active in sessions, meaning that our time together could often flow into an interactive experience where we share our curiosity, heart and wisdom and together create our journey in a unique way that is centred around you.
Within supervision sessions our aim can be to grow a relationship that celebrates you and your clients journeys within the fields of compassion, spaciousness and clarity.
My personal contemplative, creative writing and meditative practices and my desire to live authentically and lightly upon this earth enhances my ability to be open, genuine and present within life and within any counselling relationship.
I work within the ethical framework for good practice offered by my accrediting body (The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy-BACP).
I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (number ZB499910) and work within GDPR and BACP ethical guidelines around personal data storage and confidentiality.
Costs
I aim to make my fees affordable and flexible, (while respecting my ongoing costs and expertise). For individual counselling I typically offer a rate of between forty and sixty pounds for 50 minutes, depending on your income.
For counselling supervision, my fee is sixty pounds for one hour and eighty pounds for an hour and a half .
