Email meAbout me
Good Day - thank you for stopping and reading my profile - I hope this is your first step towards getting the support you need. You can email me on findyoubeyou@btinternet.com or call 0775 316 7194.
I have a real passion for my profession and work hard to provide a professional, informed, effective and ethical practice - Find You...Be You Counselling.
When you read information published by counsellors - I imagine that it becomes difficult to separate us from each other and make a choice. What makes me different? I have had several professions - working as a teacher, a police officer and for over 13 years working in Public Relations at a senior level with blue chip companies - before re-training as a counsellor. I have specialist qualifications and/or experience in counselling children and young people as well as couples and supervision and now in EMDR. And I have been named as Leading Specialist in Children's Counselling 2018 by Global Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals.
i have been working for 13 years in the counselling arena. With experience and qualifications working with individuals, couples, children and adolescents and I am an Accredited Counsellor, Supervisor and Trainer.
All initial sessions are free whether I am meeting an individual, a couple or the parent/guardian of a child who may require counselling. During this session we can discuss what brings you to counselling at this time - and what your thoughts on the outcome of counselling are. I will also discuss the practicalities of the sessions. This meeting gives us an opportunity to see if we can work together.
I work with adults, couples, children and young people - helping to raise awareness and understanding, while offering a supportive environment. By working at your pace with a strong therapeutic framework, together we can work towards you making changes in your life and/or help you understand yourself more. I am here to listen to your story and work with you to help you look at the choices you have.

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.
