About Me
Counselling Therapy in Alton Hampshire
I am an experienced, sensitive and empathic counsellor who understands that it can be difficult to talk about certain issues. I will do my best to facilitate your being able to share what is bothering you.
I spent many years in an office based environment later moving to a more people based role and going part time so I could build my counselling business. I have a wide range of counselling experience gained in NHS Primary Care (GP Surgery), 6th Form Colleges, Drug & Alcohol Addiction Counselling Service and Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
Eventually I left the corporate world with it’s high pressure deadline driven culture and now I am undergoing further training in psychotherapy with Re-Vision in London. This training allows me to bring together my long held interests in both the spiritual and soul based aspects of therapy and modern advances in neuroscience and in looking at our relationship with the natural world. Additionally I am interested in working with those who identify as Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP).

Confidentiality
My work is governed by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) code of ethics and confidentiality which means that I do not discuss details of my clients with other people. The only instance where I may need to share information with other agencies, would be if you or another person is at risk of harm. I will always discuss such concerns with you first.The BACP code of ethics is primarily for the protection of clients and dictates that all member counsellors regularly see a supervisor in order to ensure that the work they do is best tailored to their clients needs. This requires that I share limited information concerning my clients with my supervisor although your identity will not be disclosed. My supervisor also abides by the BACP code of ethics and confidentiality.
