About Me

Since qualifying as a counsellor (Dip. Therapeutic Counselling & post qualifying Dip. Working with

Children/Young People) my experience includes : counsellor at sixth form college, counselling within the Woking Women's Support Centre / criminal justice system, counsellor for Hampshire based counselling service, supporting and counselling young people for Surrey Applied Learning Project, helpline supervisor for volunteers working for Guildford Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Centre.

​

I am also currently volunteering as a children's counsellor for 'Place2Be' which is a charity working to improve

the emotional well-being of children and young people.

​

I work integratively which means my approach allows me to draw from different counselling theories

and enables me to adapt to your specific needs and offer you autonomy in the counselling process,

either short or long term.  

​

I have always been fascinated with what therapy can do, I continue learning and absorbing new techniques/

ongoing personal development. 

These include:

Family Dynamics / Working with Suicidal Clients / CBT / Anxiety & Depression in young people / Managing Stress / Attachment / BACP core competencies working with 11-18 yr olds / Safeguarding & Child Protection /

Working with Client Disregulation / Mind & Body Neuroscience for Therapists / Shame / 

Sexual Abuse Recovery / Exploring Mindfulness / Brief Solution Focused Therapy / Working with angry teenagers / Working Creatively

​

As a Member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy I am bound by its Ethical Framework for

Good Practice in Counselling & Psychotherapy.

​

I receive regular supervision for my work from a qualified counselling supervisor which ensures that I am working to best meet the needs of my clients. 

I also hold professional insurance and full DBS clearance.
