I qualified from the University of Brighton with a Postgraduate Diploma in Person-centred Counselling, and am a member of the British Association for the Person-Centred Approach (BAPCA). 

I have a private practice, where I work with individuals, couples, children and young people, and I have experience of working with a wide range of issues. I have previously seen clients in a preventative mental health centre. I am a tutor on two counselling courses in a local college, where I teach counselling skills. I have been a volunteer bereavement counsellor with Cruse Bereavement Care since 2005, and currently work with bereaved children and young people. I have completed Supervision Training with Cruse, and now supervise Cruse Bereavement Volunteers. 

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). As required by the BACP, I am in regular supervision and follow an ongoing programme of continued professional development.

I am covered by professional liability insurance.
