Clinical Experience in Counselling and Psychotherapy

I have been working as a couples and individual counsellor for twenty years and as a sex therapist for three years. In addition to my private counselling and psychotherapy practice in Harpenden, I work with Relate in St Albans. I have specialist skills and experience in working with sexual abuse and sexual addiction. In addition to my counselling experience, I have worked as a senior manager including extensive experience of human resources work and so my expertise also covers work-related and career issues.

What to Expect during Counselling and Psychotherapy

We can meet for an initial session, where you have the opportunity to discuss with me the issues you would like to address and the type of approach that might suit you.

I can work in a range of styles from a gentle exploratory approach through to highly structured work. I can also work long term or for a limited number of sessions.

My main theoretical counselling approaches are -

Psychodynamic, which analyses how current behaviour is influenced by past experience and how you as the client can relate to people differently,

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which analyses beliefs and their associated behaviour patterns and uses cognitive and behavioural change techniques to build more helpful beliefs and behaviour patterns,

and Solution Focused Brief Therapy for specific problems.

I also use Transactional Analysis and Attachment Theory to explain patterns of relating to people. As a sex therapist I use Psychosexual Therapy which is linked to CBT, and I follow the Relate pattern of taking a history, presenting an analysis of the issues, then using this as the basis for therapy.
