Confidential Counselling Service

Today: 9/9/2010 Last Updated: 27/5/2010

I have a grounding in Childhood development, Sociolgy and Psychology to foundation level ~ Some ten years after this and through the course of my own life experiences I embarked on a Counselling career.

I have certificates in counselling skills and practice followed by an 'Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Counselling'. Adv Dip Couns

My Diploma is accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and considered by the BACP to be a course of particulary high standards.

My training is 'Humanistic Integrative' and draws from the models of 'Person Centred' 'Transactional Analysis' 'Gestalt' and 'Psychosynthesis'.

Further to this I have trained in the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy model (CBT) used and approved by the NHS as a solution focused brief model of therapy.

I work integratively drawing from these different psychotherapy models depending on what appears to best suit the client. Each client is unique and so one particular model can never be considered to be 'the right' model as different models suit different individuals.

I am particularly experienced in working with the dynamics of relationships on a one to one basis ~ I do not work with couples.
