MSc Psychological Trauma, BACP Registered Counsellor (Accred), Supervisor and EMDR Practitioner, on the Professional Standards Authority Accredited Register, offering therapeutic and Stress Management support to individuals age 19+. Based in the centre of Winchester, close to the railway station and free 2hour parking. Daytime and evening Practice.

Please note: I work using a hybrid of online and in-person sessions to meet client and Covid safety needs. My usual practice days are Mon Tues Wed. Limited Thursday supervision slots now available.

My work has taken me to many countries and into many and varied cultural settings. I am in my 50s and bring a wealth of both life and professional experience to my practice as a Counsellor and Supervisor.

People consider coming to counselling for many different reasons and there is no threshold for the difficulty or pain you may be experiencing for coming along to explore what might feel right for you. Some people will consider a few professionals or types of support before deciding what feels comfortable at any time and I would encourage this.

I offer both short-term and long-term weekly sessions. I do appreciate that everyone has a life outside of the counselling room so we can discuss your commitments and agree a workable plan together.

There is no 'one size fits all' to how I work with clients. Developing a mutual and trusting relationship is a key foundation to getting the most from counselling or support with the stressful struggles of life in 2021. I am trained in different therapeutic models and will integrate my experience and skills to ensure that I work with you in a way that pays attention to and appreciates you as an individual.

My aim is to provide a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space for you to feel comfortable to explore any aspect of your life. Everyone works at their own unique pace and responds to therapeutic approaches in different ways. There is no measure or scale for being a 'good client'. Just come along and be yourself and work with what feels comfortable and safe for you.

MBACP(Accred) - I am on the Professional Standards Authority Accredited Register of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and practice according to their Ethical Framework. A professional member of both the British Psychological Society and the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (approved trainer and interventionist), I will work collaboratively with you to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore whatever you may want to talk about.

Experienced in aspects of safeguarding, I can support you with safety planning and signposting to appropriate agencies where applicable.
