I also provide home visits to people who are not able to leave their homes. I am an Integrative trained Counsellor and Psychotherapist with an Advanced Professional Diploma. I am also a Hypnotherapist.
My surgery runs on a Monday to Friday from 4.30pm to 8.00pm and on Saturday from 8.00am to 2.00pm. I work online and via zoom at the moment. I offer a free 30 minute consultation.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Degree in Applied Social Science from Kingston University and I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with an Advanced Professional Diploma in Psychotheraputic Counselling.
I have worked in a Corporate Environment for many years and have supported many individuals with their life's problems.

BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience.
