About me
I am a chartered counselling psychologist registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and HCPC (PYL28339). I currently work for online platforms with a variety of different clients. I work in a very integrative and person centred way. I am thorough in my work taking into account a client's emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. I have therefore trained in a number of different therapies to support this approach.
Historically I worked for a charity with 16-25 year olds to prevent homelessness and I currently work privately both online and in a natural setting for walking therapy sessions. I have previously worked as a specialist counselling psychologist within a pain management service. I am a trained Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), Cognitive Analytic Therapist (CAT), Mindfulness Teacher and EMDR practitioner and I have experience of working in an affective disorders team in County Durham. During my time with the affective disorders team I worked with service users who were experiencing mental health difficulties such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders, psychosis, OCD, PTSD etc.
Prior to this I worked just under 6 years within an IAPT (increasing access to psychological therapies) service. Within the IAPT service I worked with individuals who were experiencing common mental health difficulties such as depression, anxiety, phobias, OCD, PTSD etc.
During my doctorate in counselling psychology training which I completed in 2012, I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity of working in an array of different settings both long term and short term with a variety of mental health difficulties. These have included the voluntary sector - bereavement, domestic violence services, and within police custody.
