Hi, my name is Gen - most people find it easier to use than my full name.
​
Life can sometimes feel heavy, confusing, or simply too much to carry on your own.
There may be moments when you feel stuck, lost, or unsure which way to turn.
In those times, having someone alongside you can make a real difference, because every journey is a little easier when made alongside a caring and supportive fellow traveller.
​
I want to offer you a warm, calm and supportive space where you can talk about what is going on for you, at your own pace.
Together, we can gently explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, whether they come from what is happening now or from your past, and begin to make sense of them.​

What you can expect.......
I understand that taking those first steps on your counselling journey can feel very daunting, and maybeeven a bit frightening, but I offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore any difficulties you areexperiencing and create an empathetic, non-judgmental, warm and friendly environment for us to work in. ​
​
​
Our work will begin with me listening to what has been going on for you and what has brought you to seek some support. Using the most up-to-date tools and techniques we will, together, formulate a plan for moving forward, and then work through it in a way, and at a pace, that is right for you as an individual.​
​​
​
Every client is unique, so I am happy to undertake and support each session at your pace. ​I offer a hybrid approach combining online, telephone and/or face to face. The choice is yours.​​
​​
​
Sessions can be fortnightly, weekly or varied. I aim to be as flexible as possible with appointments and times. ​Some people have sessions for a term, a year or for longer.
​​I offer just that, a space that is non-judgemental and safe. ​
​​
​
My main practice based in a little village betwen Oxford and Witney, I also practice in Oxford and Witney.
​​
​
​​I am an integrative psychotheraputic counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), i am also trained in the Rewind Technique for trauma and phobias, by Human Givens Instutute.
​
​
As an Integrative Counsellor, I aim to work collaboratively with my clients, drawing on different ideas and approaches to tailor the support I offer to you and your individual needs.
​​
​
In brief this means that I trained in a wide range of therapeutic methods and theories, and that I try to think about each client and each problem from several points of view.​
