About me
I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental place where you can explore whatever is, or isn't, troubling you. With warmth, humour, honesty and realness, I can help re-find that sense of self.
My approach is never one-size-fits-all. We work together.
I incorporate: Person-Centred Counselling: ensuring you are fully accepted and heard without judgement. CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy): For managing immediate anxiety and difficult thoughts, giving you practical tools, and Attachment Theory: For understanding how past relationships influence your current sense of self.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am committed to ethical and informed counselling. My practice is underpinned by comprehensive training and experience:
I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and am currently completing my Masters at the University of Derby.
I am a Registered Member of the ACC and a Member (student*) of the BACP, strictly adhering to their ethical frameworks.
I have three years of focused experience as a counsellor. This is supported by over 25 years of broad experience in professional media and community leadership roles, which gives me unique insight into high-pressure work environments and complex life transitions.
Member organisations
The Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) is a Christian professional membership organisation for those involved in counselling/psychotherapy and linked professions, i.e. pastoral care, coaching and spiritual direction, in the UK.
