As a qualified Counsellor I understand that both internal and external issues create a uniquely experienced psychological distress that can benefit from exploration between counsellor/client or from the support of a group.I have twenty years experience providing brief and long-term individual counselling, telephone, email and video support as well as facilitating local and national support groups.Whilst my training is grounded in Person Centered theory, my studies include Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Object Relations/ Psychodynamic, Gestalt and Existential models. My qualifications and memberships include BA (Hons) Counselling, Diploma Clinical Supervision and Consultancy, Primary Certificate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and is a registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.I have provided counselling across a range of professional settings including primary care, addiction, bereavement, young people and in private practice.
