WHO WE ARE

We are accredited BACP counsellors each with around 20 years experience of working one
to one. We are qualified clinical supervisors for the past ten years and work both one to one and with small supervision groups. Although we trained in different therapeutic approaches, we now work with a variety of modalities including psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behavioural therapy. We integrate our theory and experience to suit the needs of the individual client and we also offer creative ways of working where appropriate. This includes working with sandtray and a variety of art therapies.
More recently we have individually qualified as an EMDR therapist and Family/Systemic Practitioner.
