About me

Face-to-face, online, telephone and outdoor sessions are available in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

ADHDer and Autistic. 

PLEASE SEE MY WEBSITE FOR CURRENT AVAILABILITY 

I qualified as a counsellor/psychotherapist in 2007. I work in Schools as well as being an Adult Employee Assist Counsellor.

Adults
I offer you a safe space where you can start identifying the learnt messages from who you really are, not who you have become by trying to conform and please the world and others. Through a ND and person centred lens I support to recognise differences, celebrate them but also recognise the effect of them on behaviour and feelings and how they may have brought grief and a sense of loss.  You the are the expert on you, but may have lost your voice. I am primarily trained as a Person-Centred practitioner, but I also have training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and use psychoeducation in my work, as well as Gestalt and creative methods. I will always adapt to what suits you and what you need to find your own answers and peace. It is important you find a counsellor that you feel comfortable with, someone you feel you can truly open up to and someone who understands you. This is your time and your trust to give to someone. Initially we will speak on the phone (if comfortable - telephone conversations are not for everyone) and see if we feel a connection before we then schedule a first meet and start our time together.

Children

Parents: I have been working with children from (7-18+ years old) and families for over 20 years. I engage very well with all children, and I have often been told they feel comfortable with me and want to talk to me. I can adapt my communication accordingly and have supported the most difficult of behaviours and mental health concerns. Please refer to my website for full list of specialist training and career experience.

Initially we will speak on the phone and discuss how counselling works and what you hope to gain as parents. I will then meet your child and we will then agree whether we feel a connection and wish to proceed. Some children come with specific topics they wish to discuss and have reached their own conclusion within a few sessions, whereas some children need longer and find it hard to face and process their emotions. We will discuss this more when we initially talk. We will have reviews and communicate throughout, while making sure I hold a safe confidential space for your child.

I can support almost all concerns that are brought to the counselling room because counselling skills are not limited to certain subjects to achieve positive changes and understanding. Please see my website for full details.

Training, qualifications & experience

I started my counselling training in 2002 and qualified as a Person-Centred Counsellor in 2007 through the achievement of the Level 4 Diploma. Since then I have continued my studies to Masters level and have gained additional qualifications in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Gestalt therapy and Art/ Creative Therapy. All of which qualify me as a talking-focused counsellor, that can integrate different skills, including using creative methods.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
