I have personally experienced ‘Sudden Death Syndrome’ and all that can bring- the manifestations of grief, anxiety, hopelessness, trauma and despair.
Having recovered from unanticipated consequences, and being able to acknowledge the mountain that I personally needed to climb to overcome this, I am now deeply moved and fulfilled when I can help and support someone who is struggling to cope with their mental health.
‘At its best, therapy helps us experience more meaning, more fulfilment and contentment in our lives.’
I offer Person-centred counselling with an integrative approach, and have a Counselling Diploma Level 4 and have 20 years experience of counselling.
I am an Accredited member of the BACP (Membership member 386354) and am committed to working in accordance with their ethical framework.
I am also an accredited member of the National Counselling Society.
During my career a great deal of my work has been with anxiety, depression, feelings of sadness, bereavement, trauma, issues of attachment and loss, relationship difficulties, and struggles relating to low self-esteem and self-worth.
Currently, I am employed as an EAP Remote counsellor with a global company and have my own private practice.
I have a wealth of experience working with anxiety, depression, low mood, feelings of sadness and low self-esteem. I support clients through life transitions, and health problems.
I work extensively with issues relating to grief, bereavement and loss, including pregnancy loss and in addition, I have worked as as an Adoption counsellor for the General Register Office under section 51 Adoption Act 1976. This provided me with the opportunity to gain a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience working with adopted adults wishing to explore the circumstances surrounding their adoption.
