My journey to becoming a counsellor has been a long and winding one and includes several years working within education - both secondary and tertiary - within organisations and within charities and social enterprises. I have completed levels 2 and 3 in Counselling Skills and training with CPCAB and a Level 7 PGDip in Counselling and Coaching with the University of East London.  Additionally I also hold a Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People, a PGDip in Mental Health Recovery, a PGCE and have completed a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Philosophy. I specialise in working with domestic and sexual abuse and childhood sexual abuse and trauma. Though I am qualified to work in many areas, including the following: Working with suicide and self-harm, including suicidal ideation and thoughts Bereavement Disordered eating and body image LGBTQIA+ friendly practice Neurodivergence Depression and Anxiety Addiction and Substance Abuse Pre-trial therapy CPD is a core component of any effective therapist's practice, and I continually update and expand my knowledge of psychotherapeutic practice and support, as well as specialist training with specific mental health and psychiatric conditions.​ I am an accredited member of NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) which uphold a strict code of ethics and aim to ensure client safety and wellbeing throughout the therapeutic journey.  I am also a Fellow of the Mental Health Collective which brings together professionals by training and professionals by lived experience of mental health concerns and services to better support and advocate for those most in need.  I am also a proud member of the Victim Focus Charter which follows a trauma informed approach and upholds the promise to actively challenge and prevent victim blaming, and support all those whose lives have been impacted by trauma and abuse. I have an up to date enhanced DBS certificate and hold a Level 3 Certificate in Safeguarding Children and Young People.
