MBACP, MNCPS, GMBPsS

After 9 years training and working in architecture, in 2014, I changed career and began working with children, young people and their families.

I now work in private practice offering integrative counselling and psychotherapy to children, young people and adults, individually and within relationships. I also provide clinical supervision to other psychotherapists, counsellors, and supervisors, as well as anyone working in a helping profession.

I have an MSc in Psychology, a PGDip in Working with Children, Young People, & Families: a Psychoanalytic Observational Approach, a Diploma in Psychodynamic Therapeutic Counselling, an Advanced Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling, and an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision including Online and Telephone Working. I am currently completing a BSc in Counselling.

I also regularly undertake CPD and further training in additional techniques and professional considerations, such as:

  • Solution Focused Brief Therapy
  • Attachment wounds
  • IFS
  • Trauma
  • Anxiety
  • EMDR
  • Emotion Focused Individual Therapy
  • Suicide prevention
  • Decision making
  • GDPR
  • Cyber security
  • Nutrition science
  • Domestic Violence and Gender Based Violence
  • Autism
  • ADHD
  • Disability awareness
  • Safeguarding vulnerable adults and children
  • Pre-trial Therapy
  • Adult adoptees
  • Equality, diversity, and inclusion

I hold an up to date enhanced DBS for working with adults and children and relevant insurance.

I am a registered member of the BACP and NCPS and I am a Graduate member of the BPS. This means I am able to access up to date guidance and advice on best practice, and high quality continued professional development training and research. It also means I have signed up to work within ethical frameworks, and that I am accountable to those accredited bodies.
