Profile

A Therapist for 15 years, my main areas of expertise are relationships sexuality and eating disorders. I am particularly interested in the impact of outside circumstances which impact on the family system. I trained as a Relationship Therapist in 1995. I qualified as a Psychosexual therapist in 2000 and am now accredited with the British Association of Sexual and Relationship Therapists. I completed my training in Interpersonal Therapy in 2005. I have an interest in Eating Disorders, and have worked with a variety of clients over the past 3 years on both an inpatient and daycare basis. I gained my Master Practitioner in Eating Disorders in 2007. I have extensive experience of group work in a variety of settings focusing on a wide range of issues. I have a Private Practice in Penwortham near Preston, Lancashire where I see a variety of clients on an individual and couple basis. In addition to my private practice I currently work on a self employed basis for 2 private hospitals in Lancashire and Cheshire, and having qualified as a Supervisor I offer supervision to other counselling practitioners.
