“Am I living in a way which is deeply satisfying to me, and which truly expresses me?”

I am fully qualified and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), and I hold a level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling. I practice in Jersey, Channel Islands.

I have undergone further training in CBT, and I hold an advanced diploma in couples psychotherapy at Level 7 (Masters level). 

I am also a fully licensed and registered acupuncturist, with a bachelor of science degree in Acupuncture. I have been in practice since 2012, running a busy clinic and treating a vast array of conditions. During my first year of practice I decided I wanted to train as a counsellor in order to provide my patients with additional support, and to be better able to hold space for their trauma. I now specialise in the treatment of stress and anxiety with acupuncture, combining counselling with acupuncture, and using counselling as a stand alone therapy.

I prefer to practice counselling face to face, in my private counselling room in 39 Hill Street, however I appreciate this is not suitable for some people and so online counselling is available.

I have a particular interest in relationship difficulties. Most of the problems I encounter in my individual counselling practice are founded in relationships in one form or another, whether its family, partner, friend or co-workers, and so it seemed like a natural progression for me to train in couples psychotherapy. My approach is grounded in the psychological theory of attachment (developmental) and transactional analysis, but I'm a firm believer in my own development and so I continue to learn and grow, and my style as a therapist is forever evolving.

I like to spend my free time in nature, running, and walking, or in the winter, throwing myself down a mountain with abandon (on ski's).

I have a very ambitious collection of books on psychological theory, which my only mission is to complete before I die. Unfortunately the collection keeps getting larger.

My hope for my clients is that they live, or learn to live in a way that is true to who they are, and that they are truly satisfied with, and that I can foster an environment where they feel deeply supported, understood, and where they can boldly go on a journey of self discovery.
