I am a Certified Focusing Professional Teacher having trained with Ann Weiser Cornell. I am also a BFA Recognised Teacher and a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor and Supervisor.
Over the years I have worked with many people who are seeking healing, personal growth and a new way forward. When a person experiences that their pain is heard, understood and acknowledged and that they themselves are accepted warmly and genuinely, something changes. I have discovered this as a Focuser gently paying attention to something in me that needs my attention, and as a Companion and guide supporting another person’s process.
I find that Focusing is very much in tune with my Person-Centred counselling approach which includes empathic listening, acceptance and being real. You might like to read my project, ‘Bringing Focusing to a Counselling Supervision Group’. My project shows how Focusing can increase counsellors’ self-awareness, enhance supervisory explorations and enrich the group experience.
There is further information on my website (listed above). You are welcome to contact me to discuss Focusing sessions and training.
