Further information

I am a qualified person-centred counsellor having completed an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Counselling, as well as embarking on a post-qualifying Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People. I have obtained qualifications in Couples counselling and undertaken training in Supervision.

Since qualifying I have continued to develop my experience and have undertaken several training courses to support my work, including, more recently a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training model. I have a thriving private practice, counselling adults, children, teenagers and couples as well as experience working with children in schools in the Kent area and in GP practices. I supervise both management, counsellors and volunteer groups working with key workers.

I have also volunteered for Family Matters, a charity, that counsels adults who have been sexually abused in childhood, the organisation and its volunteers were recognised in the Kent County Council Volunteering Excellence Awards.

I have been a schoolteacher, police officer and worked in Public Relations for several Blue Chip companies as well as having my own Public Relations business. I have also held volunteer positions for Victim Support, the Fire-Setters Counselling Group in Nottinghamshire, Childline, MIND and the Tonbridge Volunteer Be-friending Service and as a Critical Incident Debriefer for the Kent Fire and Rescue Service.
