About Take Control
I can offer appointments during the day, evening and weekends.I have been particularly successful in helping couples and individuals resolve relationship problems and also have a special interest in supporting clients dealing with:
• couple counselling
• stress and depression
• low self confidence & self esteem
• behavioural difficulties
• bullying issues (whether in school, workplace or elsewhere)
• emotional problems
• change and transition
• conflict situations
• learning and development difficulties
• other relationship issues
I have an integrative approach to counselling and psychoterapy and use non-directive methods in the exploration stage, moving into cognitive behavioural methods in the action stage of the ’Gerard Egan ’model.
I work positively with clients regardless of age, gender, disability, cultural and religious background or sexual preference.
I am married with two teenage children. Before setting up my counselling practice, I was a Head of Year in a College in Hampshire with responsibility for the pastoral care of 320 students. I previously taught in two North London comprehensive schools where I led developments promoting personal, social and health education. I have also provided counselling training for teachers and health professionals.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
I have BEd and MEd degrees and a Post Graduate Diploma in counselling. I qualified as a counsellor in 1985 and have extensive experience in counselling individuals and couples. I have worked with adolescents and families liaising with other agencies on their behalf when appropriate. I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists,(www.bacp.co.uk) and abide by its code of ethics and am a member of the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies. I also subcribe to the ’Human Givens’ approach focusing on clients’ needs taking on board new understanding of brain science and helping them to recognise and use their own resources more effectively.
