Profile

You might have one or many reasons to seek counselling - change a repetitive behaviour; work through an emotional issue; improve, end, or find a new relationship; or become more successful in life.  I counsel on these and many other concerns including:

Depression
Family problems
Addiction
Job stress and loss
Anxiety
Self esteem issues
OCD
Phobias
The emotional effects of illness

I specialise in cognitive behavioural therapy to help clients examine the relationship between their thoughts feelings and behaviours which is often a particularly valuable way to look at the difficult areas in their lives.

Before retraining as a counsellor, I worked with adults with learning disabilities within the social work department.  I decided to explore counselling after my own experiences of therapy due to ill-health.

I am governed by BABCP Code of Ethics & Practise and am subject to their requirements for continuing Accreditation, including regular clinical supervision, CPD (Continuing Professional Development) and the BABCP Complaints Procedure. Training, Qualifications & Experience

I am a member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and have been practising as a counsellor since 2005. My Diploma in Counselling was completed at The Centre of Therapy and Counselling Studies in Glasgow, in 2005.

I have experience working with many different issues and difficulties including stress, anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, bereavement, trauma, abuse, relationship difficulties, self-confidence and esteem, phobias, workplace issues, etc.

I currently work in telephone counselling for major companies as well as my private counselling practice. I have previously worked for the NHS and The Priory Hospital, as well as in the voluntary and charitable sectors. Most of my experience has been individual work and group-work with adults, but I also have experience working with couples and with young people.
