About me
I work from a warm, comfortable and private room in Worcester City Centre, on St Mary's Street with free parking on the road for 45 minutes. Foregate Street station is ten minutes walk away.
I can also offer appointments at Revival Health and Wellbeing Centre, Alexander House, High Street, Inkberrow on Friday afternoons. The centre is all on one level and there is free client parking.
My work includes supporting clients with anxiety, how it shows up in life and working together to understand and become less fearful of it.
Changes in life and looking for the next step. What does it feel like and how can we get there.
Relationship struggles, including adult and parental, partner or sibling or work/professional difficulties.
Women's health and menopause. Hormonal fluctuations, navigating life and relationships. Space to share feelings and come back to yourself.
I am a fully qualified counsellor with over ten year's counselling experience and previously worked as a mentor in education supporting young people with emotional and behavioural struggles as well as working with their parents.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I work with adults individually but I begin my training in relationship counselling in the new year.
Through the work together I have seen people begin to feel confident in making their own decisions, changing aspects of their life, finding it easier to do things that were difficult before, even if these things look easy for everyone else, or making bigger shifts and fulfilling dreams or ambitions that have been on hold.
Sessions can be held face to face in Worcester or online nationally. There is a lift available to reach my therapy room in Worcester if needed.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and continued my studies by achieving a Masters degree in Counselling at the University of Worcester. My research examined the psychological effects of the menopause in women.
I have recently completed some training in responding to a disclosure of sexual violence; postnatal depression - symptoms, support and onward journeys and I have also attended a webinar on providing pregnancy and baby loss support in a healthcare setting.
I have ten year's experience working with young people, adults and parents in schools, colleges and alternative provision where I supported in areas including social, emotional and behavioural issues, additional needs and pastoral care.
I have volunteered for Cruse Bereavement supporting people experiencing grief and loss. I also have experience supporting parents with children with additional needs after working for Nurture Hub Therapy Services.
My work and professional interest often focusses on attachment, childhood and working towards being the person you want to be.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
