Experience

Having established my own private practice I am currently self employed.

I have continuous experience of providing counselling and psychotherapy to children, young people, adults, couples and families to a diverse range of organisations such as Local Authorities (Child and Youth Counsellor/Social Services), GPs / NHS, Charities and Organisations, Employment Assistance Programmes, Businesses, as well as individual clients, couples and family referrals.

I have counselled clients from a wide range of ages, ethnicities and cultures, and these experiences have given me the tools to communicate freely with people and help them open up on the whole range of issues that affect their lives.  In particular I have experience of counselling clients through issues such as childhood trauma, anger management, domestic abuse, abuse, self harm, relationship issues, self esteem, social phobias, loss and change, depression, negative thoughts, anxiety/panic disorder, stress, road traffic accidents, bereavement, PTSD/trauma, Personality Disorders, sexual orientation, suicidal thoughts, work issues and health issues.

Professional

I am a professional Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their ethical framework for good practice.

I attend regular Supervision sessions to help develop and focus my practice and ensure that I am working ethically with clients.

I have professional liability insurance and a DBS check.

Other areas of counselling I deal with

I also provide Mindfulness Meditation, NLP Hypnotherapy and Coaching within my practice.
