About Me
I trained at the Wealden College of Counselling and Psychotherapy (2009-2011) on their British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) accredited Diploma in Counselling Course and was awarded a Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling.
Further Training
I have continued training in areas such as trauma, sexual abuse, suicide, anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement. I continue to be curious about other models of therapy as well as newer findings such as neuroscience, mindfulness and the role our nervous system plays. I have recently completed training in Polyvagal Therapy which is about getting to know and working with our nervous system. Paying attention to the felt experience in our body and exploring how we might help ourselves feel more ok in the world.
Experience
I have been working with clients for 12 years now. Much of this has been in private practice, but it also includes working for a national bereavement charity (I hold a certificate in bereavement counselling) and volunteering at a local charity for 5 years.
In this time I have worked with clients who present a diverse range of issues such as; anxiety, depression, childhood and relationship issues, anger and low self-esteem. I have also worked specifically with victims of sexual assault and abuse as well as those affected by suicide or struggling with suicidal thoughts.
In the past I have also worked as a volunteer mentor for young people at the Prince’s Trust and with a charity for single parents.
I am a member of the BACP and work to their code of practice and ethics. I also hold professional insurance. I offer counselling by Zoom, telephone and in-person (face to face)
