My working life as a psychotherapist and counsellor has brought me into contact with clients from diverse backgrounds, with widely varying concerns and needs.
I feel my wide range of experiences and qualifications play a priceless role in the care and help that I offer to others.
Life Coaching Studies
I have studied life coaching at the Life Coaching Institute and this, combined with my background in counselling, has enabled me to provide a highly insightful and helpful service to my life coaching clients.
Psychotherapy and Counselling Diplomas
I hold both a Post Graduate Diploma and an Advanced Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy from Regent’s College School for Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology. These degrees represent a combined total of five years of full time study in psychotherapy and counselling theory and practice.
Governing Body Memberships
I am a member of the BACP (MBACP) and a member of the UKCP. These are two of the most influential governing bodies for psychotherapy.
National Health Service (NHS)
I have worked within the NHS for a considerable number of years, in a variety of different settings. I worked in an outpatient psychiatric unit, a Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) and as a counsellor in GPs’ surgeries across rural Wiltshire, including one surgery based at Warminster Army Garrison.
Alongside my work within the NHS, I have always maintained a busy private practice.
