As a counsellor / psychotherapist, I offer therapy for individuals in central Winchester. I believe therapy offers an opportunity to engage in a process of self-exploration in order to understand and know yourself more fully and to therefore live more fully, more authentically and in alignment with your true self.

​

My professional, post graduate training was completed at Roehampton University and is integrative - a progressive form of psychotherapy that combines different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the unique needs of the individual client. "Integrative counselling aims to promote healing and facilitate wholeness - ensuring that all levels of a person's being and functioning (mental, physical and emotional health) are maximised to their full potential." - read more about integrative therapy here

Ethical practice: I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (MBACP) and abide by its ethical guidelines. You can read more about these guidelines on these web pages.

Confidentiality: Counselling / psychotherapy provides a confidential space so you can feel safe to speak freely. I keep our discussions between us, with the following exceptions:

 - I am professionally required to review my work periodically with a supervisor in the service of high quality clinical practice, though will never share your full name.

 - I might feel the need to share information with relevant parties such as your GP only if I believe you are in imminent danger of seriously harming yourself or someone else. I would always endeavour to discuss any such intentions with you first.
