Counsellor Profile

Over ten years experience. I came to counselling through going to see a counsellor myself. As I began to resolve my own issues I really appreciated the process of counselling. When I saw a pre-certificate course in counselling I did that just out of interest to begin with but realized by the end of it that I could become a counsellor and my own counsellor encouraged me to take it further. Hence I did a postgraduate diploma in counselling at the University of Brighton followed by the MA in counselling.

I worked for quite a few years voluntarily with the Brighton and Hove Federation of Disabled People and for Cruse as a bereavement counsellor. I also was a trainer for Cruse. I joined the Sussex Counselling organization and helped to organise seminars and edited their journal Sussex Counselling News. I have been in practice now since January 1997 and am accredited with the BACP.

I share a counselling space with a colleague and we see clients with all kinds of issues and also clients from EAPs who provide counselling for the NHS amongst others. For more information about how I work and testimonials please visit www.counsellinginbrighton.co.uk. I also used to work in mental health as a project worker for Brighton Housing Trust so I have a specialist interest in this area and work with those who have been psychiatrically 'diagnosed' but wish to explore their issues more holistically.
