I am an experienced, qualified counsellor, registered as an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, (BACP). I practise online counselling in accordance with the Ethical Framework of BACP.

During and after graduation from my Advanced Diploma Counselling course in early 2010 I studied many short term CPD courses, as well as obtaining my Masters Degree at Bath Spa University in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice. I was also awarded the Advanced Certificate of the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS).

I use an integrated range of counselling methods as appropriate to each client. Those methods are based on humanistic person centered counselling, transactional analysis, NLP, positive therapy, motivational interviewing and other methods to bring a balanced, comfortable and positive experience for my clients. My counselling follows the belief that each person is their own individual self, who inherently tries to improve their well-being in their own way. Some of the counselling methods I use include: Person Centred Counselling, Transactional Analysis, NLP, CBT, Social Focussed Counselling, Relationship/Couples Counselling and others.

Each person has their own issues, problems, hopes, fears - and a lot more. I respect those differences and work with them during the counselling sessions.

Prior to commencing my training and current career as a counsellor I worked overseas for many years in a telecommunications speciality, which was installation and maintenance of telecommunications projects of oil companies, NATO military and civilian major projects.  The locations included: Libya, Gibraltar, Syria, Gabon, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Columbia, a large NATO installation project in Portugal, Papua New Guinea. The many varied locations worldwide in which I worked and lived provided me with a knowledge of the fascinating ways in which different people live and believe. All have behaviour patterns which are varied in many ways.

In 1986 I moved to a new life near Lisbon, Portugal. I started an equipment rental company, which I developed and expanded, then sold it and returned to England 20yrs later.

I then commenced my counselling training and a new career in 2010. I have found counselling to be amazingly interesting and challenging. Helping people to help themselves is a great profession.
