I am a fully qualified Dip H.E. counsellor and a full member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP) and work to their ethical framework. I offer Face to Face sessions in Ramsgate Kent and On-line using Skype and WhatsApp platforms. I have a specialised BACP/Open University Online qualification, this included texting, email and video conferencing. I work with a wide range of emotional and psychological health difficulties and have many years experience in a number of different settings from addiction centres, community counselling hubs and private practice. I currently work face to face in Ramsgate Kent and On-line for a world-wide therapy platform. I can help with array of mental health issues including, anxiety, depression, addiction, borderline and narcissistic personality disorders, relationship and family problems, autism , ADHD, midlife crisis, divorce, bereavement and other forms of loss, low self-esteem, childhood trauma, identity & sexual orientation. Through our work together I can help you become more comfortable with who you want to be, help you feel less anxious and self critical and more accepting of yourself. I came into this work by way of personal and professional evolution and had to recognise and put right the legacy of my childhood experiences. I had to look at the ways I learned to adapt as a child and those adaptations that followed me into adolescence and adulthood. Through my own personal therapy experience I developed and qualified as a counsellor/therapist. I laugh and curse and you will always know you are with a real human being and I offer a very relaxed and informal style of working. I bring a rich life experience around family issues, stepfamilies, and modern eclectic family life, giving me personal insight into the complex world of family dynamics. I worked extensively in the music business as a working musician and sound engineer for many years and understand creativity. My rates are £50 per 50 min session and concessions and sliding scales for low income or unemployed are available. |
