Biog
I trained at The Chiron Centre for Holistic Psychotherapy and have been practicing in private practice for the last 6 years and in the NHS for one year. I also work as a sessional counsellor for Employee Assistance Programmes. I am registerd with the UKCP and the BACP. I believe that people’s wounds are formed in their primary relationships with their care- givers and therapy which addresses relationship is optimal for addressing these wounds, so I pay attention to and work with the relationship as it develops.
I practice keeping therapeutic boundaries such as regular times, space, time-keeping, payment and consistency of ethics, to create a safe space in which the process can unfold. I may use some of a range of techniques including talking, listening, verbal facilitation, role- play, image and dream work. I pay attention to the body, breathing and feeling. When it is appropriate and agreed I occasionally work with and touch or massage.
