Profile

I have been counselling for more than 17 years working with adults, couples, children and young people in Bedfordshire.

I found my way into counselling through my work with young people on Merseyside as well as through having my own personal therapy

Like me, most people I meet come to counselling to try and resolve some issue that is preventing them living a satisfying life. With that in mind I offer a counselling relationship that can help to unravel these difficulties, helping to see the issues more clearly and taking action to resolve them.

I meet with clients in a comfortable location in the centre of Bedford (where parking is available) and which is wheelchair accessible.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and have an MA in Counselling Research from the University of Hertfordshire.

I was awarded a Fellowship by the BACP for my services to counselling in 2002 and am a member of the BACP.

In my practice in the centre of Bedford I offer counselling, consultative supervision and training.

I have researched and published on counselling and anorexia as well as on other counselling training matters. Currently I am researching the area of childhood bereavement.

I work with adults, couples, young people and children and have experience working with Bedfordshire and Luton Fire and Rescue Service and Bedfordshire Police as well as within a number of schools in Bedfordshire.
