Banish the Crows offers counselling and psychotherapeutic services that are not typically defined or limited by psychiatric or other medical diagnoses. That is to say, we work with and prize the person and not the label.
We offer short-term counselling therapy, longer-term psychotherapy, and existential coaching - an attitude and method of working designed to assist clients in responding dynamically to the dilemmas of living and working towards a changed or different existence.The existential precept being that our identity isn't fixed and instead we become who we are through the choices we make in life.

I have over twenty five years' experience of working with emotional, psychological and mental health and wellbeing. I have worked in a variety of roles in a range of settings but my commitment and passion for 'the person' has always been a consistent factor. During this time I have led on clinical quality and clinical effectiveness, as well as developing care systems in a National Health Service (NHS) setting.
Whilst my principal interest is in people and how all of us live and relate to each other - in approaching living and dying and how we live, I do have a particular interest in personality development, identity and outsider-ness, as well as behaviours that communicate our disaffection and distress - the unease that we experience within ourselves, such as when we make unwise or risky choices with our health and well-being.
At Banish the Crows the person will always be recognised as the sole focus and the most important element in the therapeutic process. My commitment and passion for 'good mental health for all' is longstanding. Establishing Banish the Crows in 2017 is a personal highlight after a lengthy and credible career working in various organisations.
I qualified as an integrative psychotherapist in 2017. My formal studies spanned four years and were completed at Staffordshire University. My qualification is a postgraduate diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling. I was awarded a Professional Distinction overall and my academic tutors awarded me Best Student Performance in my first and final years of training.
We provide Pre-Therapy Information and a Therapeutic Agreement to people who express an interest in therapy - usually before the initial consultation. It sets out an 'offer of therapy' for consideration by potential clients before we meet to agree a way of us working together. The provision of pre-therapy information and a therapeutic agreement is an expected practice in the counselling psychotherapy setting.
