About me
Have you ever felt overwhelmed, a constant fear or just feeling very tearful? I can help you, and I would like to help you.
I offer humanistic therapy to help you explore your fears and can help you to understand why you feel overwhelmed.
I have been a therapist for 6 years and prior to that I was a Paediatric Nurse for 34 years, working and supporting ill children and teenagers. Working so closely with families led me into wanting to train as a Counsellor.
My area of expertise is adult grief work, depression and anxiety, as well as supporting young adults who are suicidal or have self harmed.
My other area of expertise is baby loss and trauma and I work two days a week for a Norfolk charity where I help men and women in pregnancy bereavement.
I work from my office at home and there is a good bus service to my area as well as parking. I do have some small stairs to go up to my office but I do have an accessible room downstairs that can be used if needed.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a medical background. I was a Adult and Paediatric Nurse for many years at the Norfolk Norwich Hospital.
- Certificate from the University of East Anglia Counselling Skills.
- Diploma in person centred therapy and qualified in 2017. I trained at the Norwich Centre over two years.
I have experience working with young adults who self harm and suffer from anxiety having worked in a mental health secure unit for six months.
I have three years Counselling Experience from working in private practice and two charities.
I have also worked with the YMCA as a lodgings provider and I enjoy helping young people 18- 25 with their mental health needs and living needs.
Member organisations
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.
