Counsellor, Supervisor, Trainer
A calm & confidential space
I am a fully qualified counsellor & psychotherapist and I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), currently working towards my accreditation.
I am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (Reference Number ZB656009) conforming to the Data Protection Act 2018 & General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
My practice is fully insured through Howden Insurance.
I have my own private practice where I work with children, young people and adults. I also work in a primary school as the school counsellor and as part of the safeguarding team.
I work in an integrative way, which means I will use different theories to help us to understand and work through your issues in a way that is tailored to you.
I have a big passion for the work I do and I love teaching. I run parent and school staff workshops to help educate and empower adults on how best to support children. I also run my own CPD training courses for therapists. Finally, I have worked at the Counsel House Training Centre, teaching the level two Counselling Skills Course to adults.
I have a particular interest in working with neurodivergence (ADHD & Autism) and have spent the last two years deepening my knowledge and understanding around this area. I have recently gained a new qualification in working with autism.
Another area of interest is working with bereavement. I volunteered at my local hospice for about 3 and a half years, working with adults, supporting them through their grief and sadness. Having lived through a lot of bereavement myself growing up, it's an area I can have a deep empathic understanding of, when supporting and relating to my clients.
As a counsellor and supervisor, I work very intuitively, which is part of my uniqueness. I connect with myself on a very spiritual level and I use that to help guide my clients and supervisees to that place within themselves.
