Individual & Couple Adult Psychotherapy - Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire
Therapy is different from chatting to other people in your life. Talking in therapy offers you the opportunity to talk about what is going on for you or what you want to explore, without the usual relationship complexities. It is a confidential, impartial space and one where you can be free to truly express yourself, to share thoughts, hopes or worries that may be difficult to address elsewhere.
I believe the most important thing in therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. This needs to be one of trust and respect. Initially, all that may be there is feeling comfortable together, as trust and respect can of course take some time to build. You as the client will lead the way with what you are comfortable in exploring as we work together. Working together we will explore your reality and I will walk alongside you as you discover more of your own world. As our relationship builds, I aim to help you discover themes and behaviours which have developed within you through your experiences, and to draw out unconscious influences to help you gain deeper awareness of yourself.
You can see more about my training and professional approach on my website www.redskytherapy.co.uk
Curious? Please be in touch via email, WhatsApp or phone (do leave a message) and we can arrange an introductory session. An introductory session is obligation free, it is an opportunity for us to meet and for you to let me know a bit about yourself and what is going on for you, and for you to ask any questions you may have.

Training, experience and continued professional development
My training had a focus on both experiential personal development and academic theoretical learning. I undertook two placements and set up my private practice. During the seven years of training, I was required to be in weekly psychotherapy and private supervision. This means I have great depth of experience of the process of therapy and the importance of professional support as a therapist.
I have previously volunteered and worked as a Psychotherapist in the NHS and as such held an enhanced DBS (CRB) and a clinical licence to practice; I worked 1:1 with patients as well as within an Art Therapy group.
I have worked with clients on various issues including anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem, eating/food struggles, weight management, grief, loss, work struggles, relationship struggles, anger, fatigue, life-long illness, isolation, insomnia, addictions, post-traumatic stress, feeling fed-up or not 'themselves'. I also work with clients on their personal self discovery journey; exploring their internal world and learning more about who they are.
I am part of a peer support group and attend continued professional development (CPD) courses and workshops on a regular basis. These activities provide professional support, discussion and development.
