Counselling OfferedI am a Gestalt Psychotherapist. I can offer you a safe reflective space, a space away from friends, family and colleagues where your voice can be heard. I will help you gain greater understanding of situations; discover how you may form a part of them and together we will explore new possibilities.
Qualifications and TrainingI hold a Diploma of Higher Education in Humanistic Gestalt Counselling with distinction (Bucks New University). I am enrolled in ongoing training with the Gestalt Centre Wales, in my final 4 th year of doing a post graduate diploma in Children and Young Persons Psychotherapy (working towards UKCP accreditation as a Psychotherapist).
I retired from Hampshire Police after nearly 3 decades in a variety of specialisms, including domestic violence, child protection, and the management of fellow police officers impacted by traumatic experiences.
I attend professional conferences, residentials and workshops and train in person with the Pacific Gestalt Institute, California, USA and virtually with the Gestalt Institute of Cleaveland, USA and Istituto di Gestalt, H.C.C Italy. I am an individual member of the UK Association for Gestalt Practitioners, an individual member of the European Interdisciplinary Association for Therapeutic Services for Children and Young People and an individual member of the Hampshire Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (HACP).
FeesOur first session is a mutual assessment, primarily to explore what has brought you to counselling, what your expectations are, if counselling is appropriate and whether I am the counsellor for you. I offer this at a discounted price of £45. There is no obligation to proceed. The counselling process normally involves weekly one-to-one sessions lasting 50 minutes, at a cost of £50.
