I qualified as a counsellor in 2009, I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice and am an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I have worked in bereavement and palliative care for one of the country’s leading end-of-life care charities for almost a decade, helping many individuals and couples to explore their losses, health changes and end of life issues. Promoting bereavement support nationally and wellbeing for employees to avoid burnout has been an important part of my work. I also support individuals and couples experiencing fertility issues, pregnancy loss and infant loss, and am a member of the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA).
I work in a collaborative way as a Humanistic Integrative therapist and use Mindfulness and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) in my practice. I also draw upon Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP Master Practitioner) and Hypnotherapy (Certification) techniques, if I feel that they will be of benefit to you. Counselling can be a life-changing experience and it was just that for me, so, as a therapist, I strive to offer you a warm, empathic and accepting relationship in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space where you can explore your most difficult and challenging feelings.
