I am a Professionally Qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and a Social Psychologist. I am also a trained Bullying and Harassment Listener. I also hold a Skilled Helper Certificate and have had Advanced Training in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I have also completed training around 'Working with Children through the Process of Grief.' As well as three years as a trainee, and six years post qualified, in Private Counselling, I currently work part-time for a large company as a Bullying and Harassment Listener, and have done for five years. I have nearly three years experience as a Grief Counsellor and taught Social Psychology as a Lecturer and Seminar Tutor at University. To a great extent, I like to describe myself as a young thinking 47 year old.

My Style of Counselling
My style of counselling is varied and dependent on you and your needs. I am mainly Person-Centred, allowing you the time and space to explore your own issues. I also use Egan's Skilled Helper techniques to help you arrive at a decision, if that is what you need or want.
I also had a very tough and painful upbringing and great life experiences living and travelling abroad. I have experienced Moscow through to Los Angeles. I have a warm and loving nature but would not shy away from your Powerful and Painful Experiences. I believe we all develop at our own pace in life but recognise outside Social Influences do build our personalities to a great extent, I like to explore these.
I am a member of The British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy and practise to their Professional ethics and standards. Membership is only allowed following a very strict and robust vetting process of a members credentials and qualifications. Any questions? Please do not hesitate and send me an email.
