About Windrush therapy

I am a fully qualified, British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) trained and registered counsellor and therapist. 

I have always loved working with people  and after a career in the corporate world of Telecoms I decided to retrain as a person centred counsellor. This means I believe change happens when there is an understanding, accepting and genuine relationship built between us.  Alongside my practitioner training I worked as a volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Service and also as a school counsellor. I now experience the humility and privilege it is to  use my skills to support a wide range of clients in my current private practice work.

• Foundation in Jungian Analysis (Guild of Analytical Psychologists.)

As a person centred, integrative counsellor / therapist. I weave many theories into my practice as no one client is the same., we are all unique. 

I enjoy working with adults and young people., 

I am fully DBS checked and insured.. 

I have a dedicated counselling / therapy room for face to face work with ground floor access and with ample parking  near the centre of Witney. I also offer video sessions using zoom or telephone sessions. I can offer a blend of these if that meets your needs better.  

As part of my own training and continued development I have also experienced the benefits of personal therapy. I understand how challenging it can be at times as a client. This helps me value the compassion and empathy needed as a therapist to grow our relationship. 

Above all what I experienced as a client was how important it was to feel heard and seen.
