Counselling, Psychotherapy, Stroud, Gloucestershire

I have a passion for supporting people on their healing journey, acting as a compassionate witness to someone's unfolding life story. Currently I work as a counsellor, body psychotherapist and supervisor in private practice in Stroud. Previously I have worked as a group worker and counsellor at Inishfree a local drug and alcohol rehab. I hold a diploma to practise Embodied-Relational Therapy. ERT is a new form of psychotherapy, which integrates body-oriented work, psychodynamic therapy, process approaches and spirituality. I am accredited through the Independent Practitioners Network; a system of peer based, face-to-face accountability. I am also part of the ERT practitioner group.

I run workshops and training courses on body psychotherapy and groupwork themes in Stroud and Yorkshire. These courses are aimed at providing continual professional development for counsellors psychotherapists and complementary therapists, but are open to anyone who is attracted to them. I lead a year long post qualifying course with Nick Totton in Embodied Relational Therapy; please see workshops and courses for more information.

My supervision training was with the Centre for Supervision and Team Development. In early 2006 I initiated the Gloucestershire networking group for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, a dynamic and expanding network to support local practitioners. Please contact me if you are a practitioner and would like to know more. I am committed to ongoing professional and personal development. I bring to this work enthusiasm, commitment and a belief in
