I became a fully qualified Human Givens Psychotherapist in 2006. And have been running a very busy private counselling practice in Manchester for 11 years. I know that without the pragmatic, organising ideas of the Human Givens school of therapy I could not be so effective as a therapist.
Historically: I trained as an Occupationally Therapist and spent 20 years working with the NHS. Working with people who have had traumatic accidents or suffered physical illnesses, I saw first-hand how our emotional mind impacts our physical wellbeing and visa-versa.
Specialisms: As well as my private practice helping many people who have anxiety, depression, phobias, gender issues etc. etc. I also see couples and help in relationship councelling.
Having worked in the NHS I understand that some people can be traumatised by medical procedures or perhaps have physical issues connected to emotions that hamper their fundamental life plans; one or two psychotherapy sessions can bump start a person, into releasing the clutch and allowing the engine to restart.
As a psychotherapist, I work for PTSD Resolution a leading veterans charity. Helping many veterans and their families, who are experiencing the aftermath of trauma, emotional and transitional difficulties. In this capacity I also work in a large prison in Manchester, helping our veterans in custody; to resolve past traumas, learn self management skills and to celebrate their uniqueness.
I have helped many Blue Light responders to resolve past traumas/issues, freeing them up to reunite with their best selves again.
I also work for a ‘Return to Work’ organisation and several insurance companies with great success.
I have completed the HGIs supervisors course and am enjoying supervising my fellow therapists and trainee’s.
Therapy: I offer one to one therapy in the comfort of a domestic setting which people have said is more relaxing than a clinic. If preferred I can also see people online over zoom or skype.
A typical session: We would look at; the persons current difficulties and how these might be resolved; we could look at building coping strategies; at emotional needs and what might be missing in the persons life, we would look at personal goals and find the best route for the person to achieve those goals; we could then practice these goals during gentle relaxation which re-energises the person both physically and mentally.
