| About me
I am a fully qualified counsellor based in St Albans. I offer short and long-term therapy, either from my private therapy room in St Albans or online. I work with adults and young people. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and abide by their ethical framework. I undertake regular supervision in line with BACP guidelines. I am fully insured and registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Before becoming a therapist, I have worked for many years in education and as a musician. I believe that, as an individual, you have the capacity to make positive changes in your life and to move towards greater happiness and fulfilment. You may be experiencing a particular challenge, going through a difficult period, or simply looking for a confidential space where you can be heard and understood. My aim is to offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where we can work together to develop greater awareness, understanding and positive change. I work with a Gestalt focus, which means that we pay attention to what is happening for you in the present, while also considering how past experiences may continue to influence your thoughts, feelings, relationships and responses today. Together, we can explore patterns, relationships, challenges and anything that may be getting in the way of you living in the way you would like. Where appropriate, I can also integrate elements of coaching into my practice. I am a Practitioner accredited by the Foundation for Infant Loss in the areas of Pregnancy and Infant Loss, Infertility and Rainbow Baby. I support individuals and couples who may be experiencing the emotional impact of infertility, pregnancy loss, miscarriage or the complex feelings that can accompany a subsequent pregnancy or the arrival of a rainbow baby. I recognise that these experiences can affect people in many different ways and that there is no single or right way to grieve, process or make sense of what has happened. My practice aligns with the NBCP standards. I am also a qualified Rewind Practitioner and, where appropriate, can incorporate the Rewind technique to support clients who are experiencing the impact of distressing or traumatic experiences. I look forward to hearing from you. Qualifications and Training
