Speech and Language Speciality

I am also a qualified Speech and Language Therapist accredited by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Given this I am particularly experienced in working with the effects on people of communication difficulties such as those due to stroke, head injury or neurological conditions.

I am also particularly interested in working in the area of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs).

What to expect

What to expect

All sessions take place in a comfortable and confidential setting at the Sunflower Centre, our dedicated support centre situated in Sherwood, Nottingham (view on Google Maps).

Our first meeting

We would meet initially for a general discussion, where we can get to know each other and you can ask me any questions you have about my approach, background or training. I will do my best to answer your questions and give you any information you need about confidentiality, frequency and duration of meetings or anything else. This is designed to help you know whether the approach I offer is right for you and your needs.

Session length and costs

Sessions are generally 50 minutes long but can be shorter or longer if this is agreed beforehand. My fee for the standard 50-minute session is £60 and is payable at the time.

Please feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail with any questions.

Open to everyone

Individuals, couples, families and groups are also all welcome.

Flexible therapy options

Short or long term; time-limited or open-ended.

My Training

‍My initial trainings in counselling were at Leicester University and at Nottingham Counselling Service in the mid 1980s. These were psycho-dynamically orientated. I soon followed these up by training in psychotherapy at the Sherwood Institute in Nottingham from 1987 to 1992. My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is from a Relational-Integrative approach

Autism Spectrum Disorders

In 2000 I also trained and registered as a Speech and Language Therapist and as such have a particular interest in working people and families affected by communication difficulties, particularly Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs).
