Training, qualifications & experience

Fully trained, registered and insured I can offer person-centred counselling and psychotherapy in helping to enhance a more happier life and a sense of well being. I am bound by the Ethical Framework for counselling professions and keep up to date with developments in the profession. My therapeutic experiences include working with addiction, bereavement, loss, trauma and dealing with anxiety, depression, suicide, dissociation disorder, bipolar and child abuse to name but a few. More recently I have been working with both male and females who are survivors of rape, sexual abuse, sexual violence and domestic abuse. I work in various organisations, charities, the NHS and in private practice. I have a wide knowledge of how people can feel when experiencing traumatic events in life and together with my experience as a nurse I have helped many people with complex needs in different settings from all walks of life.
