I enjoy working with children and young people and draw on my teaching and caring experience. I enjoy working with adults and draw on my extensive life experience of helping people.
Why am I a counsellor?
I became a counsellor to realise a life long ambition to really listen to others. As a teacher and then an HR Manager I spent a lot of time listening and helping both children and adults. The knowledge I acquired during my recent time at University cemented this dream and turned it into a reality.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
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. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I enjoy working with children and young people. As a foster carer I have a lot of knowledge and experience to draw from.
I am available to see children within the school environment and would be happy to liaise with your child's school to discuss this further.
Most of the children I work with suffer from anxiety and/or panic attacks related to the complications of growing up in a world full of technology and high attainment expectations.
