Profile
Hello, I am a BACP accredited Person-Centered counsellor. I work with both adults and young people offering short-term and long term counselling.
I will offer you a safe, supportive and honest therapeutic relationship. I am non judgemental and accepting of you as a person. I will listen respectfully and compassionately to you. I will help you to deal with your life problems more effectively. I will go at your own individual pace and am sensitive to what you want from counselling.
In addition to talking therapy, I may offer you the opportunity to work with various art forms (painting, drawing, and sand play). Although these can sound a bit strange, many people find they provide an alternative means of communication and expression to safely convey deeply felt emotions and experiences that words alone may fail to adequately capture.
I have been working as a counsellor since 1998. My counselling practice experience includes Hull University's Counselling Service, Lincoln University's Counselling Service, Youth Counselling projects in both Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire, and also an Abuse of Children and Adults project in Hull. Currently, I work for a Youth Counselling project in Hull and also in private practice with children, young people and adults.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
My counselling training began with a Diploma course at the Sherwood Institute, Nottingham. I progressed onto further training in working with Children and Young People, and also Therapeutic Play at PCCS Training, Manchester. My supervision training was held at the Norwich Centre.
- Diploma in Counselling: Using the Person Centered Approach
- Certificate in Working with Children and Young People
- Advanced Certificate in Therapeutic Play
- BACP Individual Accreditation Counsellor/Psychotherapist
- UKRCP Registered Independent Counsellor/Psychotherapist
- Certificate in Person Centered Supervision
In addition to these qualifications, I attend regular training events in the person centered approach, client issues and also creative ways of working, e.g. artwork/drawing, sand play, psychodrama. I also attend regular clinical/casework supervision with a experienced practitioner to both monitor and support my counselling and supervision practices.
I am an accredited member of the BACP and my practice is informed by the BACP's Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am also a graduate of The Sherwood Institute, Nottingham and my practice is informed by their Code for Graduate Members. I also hold a current Enhanced CRB Certificate.
I am also a member of both the CCYP (Children and Young People's) Division of BACP and BAPCA (the British Association for the Person Centered Approach).
