About me

I am a fully qualified counsellor offering a professional service. My practice is based on a compassionate approach within a confidential and safe environment. This year, 2023, marks 30 years since I began my commitment to counselling. My experience includes working in the psychology department of an NHS hospital; within the wellbeing team of a university, and within charities and in the private sector. My work has included running workshops and CBT based groups for Panic Disorder, Perfectionism, Assertiveness, Anger Management and Depression. I have facilitated Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy groups for depression and anxiety. I have participated in professional teacher training at the Centre for Mindfulness Research & Practice at Bangor University. More recently I trained in Non-Violent Communication and the principles of which informs my practice.
