About me
With a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, I bring a blend of professional expertise and personal understanding and empathy to my counselling practice. My counselling philosophy is rooted in creating a safe and nurturing space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences. I strongly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and I am dedicated to working collaboratively with you to help you navigate life’s challenges, overcome obstacles and embrace positive change.
As a single mother dealing with teenage and young adult mental health issues within the family, I have faced my fair share of trauma and difficult times but, along with a lengthy career as a Human Resources Manager, this has given me a great insight into human nature and behaviour, along with a passion for helping others navigate their own issues on their way to a happier and more fulfilled life.
Training, qualifications & experience
My training has been centred on the model of Transactional Analysis which provides a framework to help us understand our behaviours and personality and how that affects our relationships and communication.
Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (Dip. Couns.)
In addition to my qualification, I have also had additional experience/training in:
- Bereavement
- Working with shame
- The complexities of eating and weight
- CBT
- Clinical Assessment
