Training, qualifications & experience

My experience

I qualified with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2008. My approach integrates person centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic theories.  I have experience in counselling for a wide variety of issues such as depression, panic,anxiety, relationship problems, bereavement, loss and grief, health concerns, abuse, trauma, PTSD,and child related issues. I use different skills and techniques in discussion with you and as required.

I am an accredited British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member. I abide by their guidelines and code of ethics and also undertake continuing professional development and training to update knowledge skills and practice. I have completed training in counselling for self esteem, anxiety, loss and change, self harm, domestic violence, anger management and self harm as well as the use of CBT based counselling approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ACT, mindfulness and compassion focussed therapy CFT. I have a particular interest in trauma and have completed part 1 EMDR training. I also have a particular interest in work with students in further education who have mental health difficulties.

As a graduate with psychology, I  qualified as a social worker and have extensive career experience of working to support personal change in the probation and social services, delivering Cognitive Behaviourally based groups. I have worked as a trainer and contributed to the training of counselling students.  I currently work providing mental health support to  university students
