I HOLD PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE

In 1994, when I graduated from Wigan & Leigh College, I was determined to offer my clients a powerful and potent experience of deepest respect, accurate empathy and trust. My hope is that my clients experience me as warm and genuine.

I had experienced first-hand, the immensely life-changing power of the Person-Centred Approach. I had moved out of fear and passivity into quietly confident assertiveness, which affected my life utterly positively. I had felt valued and prized by my own counsellor who had been there, simply to help me make the changes I chose to make. This has become MY philosophy. I totally trust those with whom I work, to know where it hurts and how to find healing. My role is to be a faithful companion, to help my clients empower themselves and to facilitate these clients to make changes and to heal themselves.

15 years ago I set up and continue to manage the Counselling Service at a St. Helens surgery, where a variety of doctors, and health care professionals refer patients to me.

My Private Practice is a part of my work which I enormously enjoy. There, in a dedicated counselling room, I am able to create an environment and appropriate therapeutic ambiance, which I am told by my clients is extremely comfortable, quiet, comforting and soothing. I have worked, and continue to work as an individual and group therapist at two Private Hospitals in the North West.

My teaching work, over the past 13 years includes Introduction, Certificate and Advanced Diploma courses (skills, personal development and Person-Centred theory). I regularly teach a module I developed, on a Masters Degree course at a Liverpool University. This is similar in essence to one I wrote for and delivered to staff of one of the Private Hospitals.

My training as an Expressive Therapist took place mostly in California with Natalie Rogers (daughter of Carl Rogers), and was completed with my graduation in 1996. I found this experience to be life-changing. My fear, when a student, was tangible and paralysing. I was the one hiding outside the room to complete some of the exercises alone. My growth came from facing my fears and inhibitions, challenging myself to take risks gradually and at my own pace. I may challenge my clients but ALWAYS gently and ALWAYS absolutely respecting his or her choices.

At the very heart of all my therapeutic work

and training is the absolute commitment to

each individual, to honour and prize his or

her uniqueness. My sole aim is to help each

person achieve his or her goals and to

realise their full potential -

to live and to become the person

he or she wants to be.
