Kairos Counselling/Psychotherapy

I began my formal counselling training in 2002 at the Barnabus Training Consortium, with an advanced course in pastoral care and counselling. I then continued my training with a Post Graduate Diploma, and then an MA, in Contemporary Therapeutic Counselling at the University of Hertfordshire.

My theoretical background is primarily in psychodynamic counselling. Briefly, this means that I believe that many of our beliefs and behaviour patterns have roots in the past, so it is often helpful to explore a client's past to make sense of the present. However, I also have training in person centred counselling, integrative counselling and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), and adopt a flexible approach, tailoring sessions to the needs of individual clients.
