About me and my therapy practice

Needing to unburden? Going through a time of crisis or major change? Or maybe sense a lack of direction in life? It can be a huge relief to express how we are feeling and the issues with which we are struggling, knowing that we are not being judged but are welcomed and accepted as we are. I offer a safe, confidential space to help you explore your current situation. As an Integrative counsellor, I can draw upon the main counselling approaches where they might be relevant to you, helping you to understand yourself, your relationships, and your current situation better.

I am an accredited member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and a registered member of the A.C. C (Association of Christian Counsellors). 

I have a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and also hold a National Counselling Society Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling.

Originally, I trained as a Special Needs teacher but after a change of career I undertook four years counselling training.

I then worked as a counsellor for a local counselling service before going into private practice in Sep.21.

I worked for seven years for the NHS as a chaplaincy volunteer and bank chaplain at my local hospital, and also as a counsellor on a COVID 19 Staff Support Line.

I am also a Licensed Lay Minister in the Church of England.

My working life and experience in a variety of settings has given me an understanding of, and empathy for, people from a wide range of backgrounds. 

Recognising the role that trauma plays in the lives of many who seek therapy I have completed a Complex Trauma Certification Training Course, and hold a Professional Level 2 Certificate (CCTP-11). 

Aware, sadly , that many people have been hurt by church I offer support in the areas of Spiritual Abuse and Religious Trauma, having completed a certification course.
