Training, Qualifications and Experience

Beyond any theory, I believe in the simple power of sitting with a trusted person, with a good listening ear, as a way to ease our suffering. This same environment so often provides the conditions for growth. My core training was integrative including studies in psychodynamic, attachment, person centred, and transpersonal approaches. I believe profoundly in the importance of our earliest relationships in shaping how we experience the present. I am trauma informed and interested in what an understanding of the brain, nervous system and whole body can bring as we seek to know ourselves. Ultimately, I am pragmatic and open minded; what matters is finding a way forward for you.

I have worked at a local charitable counsellling agency since June 2020, gaining experience of working with a wide and diverse range of clients and their unique needs. I hold a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and am a registered member of the BACP. I am fully insured and use regular supervision as part of ensuring the safety and quality of my work.  Contact me with any questions.
