Training, qualifications & experience
I have an MA and a post graduate diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling from Birmingham University and I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I am a fully accredited EMDR Consultant with EMDR Europe, UK and EMDRIA. I am also a fully trained Attachment Focused/ Informed EMDR Consultant

I am an EMDR Consultant providing Standard protocol and Attachment Focused EMDR to clients and providing supervision to EMDR Practitioners and Consultants.
I have very varied professional experience. Before retraining I worked as a community worker and social worker in Liverpool city centre which gave me solid grounding in many different areas.
I began my therapeutic career as a therapist for NHS long term adult psychology services and then as a therapist for the NHS sexual health and psychosexual service in Worcester. Following these grounding experiences I began to develop my private practice in Worcester.
Originally my private practice was made up of different strands including working as an associate of Worcester therapy Group for 5 years, as a member of the West Mercia Police Affiliate Network for 7 years, as a therapist for the NHS Sexual Health and Psychosexual Team for 7 years and as a therapist for BUPA as well as varying EAPS.
As the practice developed I moved to self referral and the practice now focuses on providing individual, couples and Specialist EMDR sessions and IFS sessions to clients and Supervision to Psychotherapists, Counsellors and EMDR Practitioners and Consultants.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Further information
I work in an integrative way, using different methods according to the different issues presented by individual clients. Clients individual needs and presenting issues are assessed during the initial assessment session, allowing the therapeutic approach to be tailored to address the work that needs to be done and the changes that clients want to make.
