My experience and qualifications

I have worked as a counsellor in a variety of settings since 1997.  I have been a BACP accredited counsellor since early 2005 - see the BACP website for more information about what different qualifications mean.

I have a background in the corporate world and have been self-employed since 2002. 

I have an honours degree in Psychology.  I gained an Advanced Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling in 2000 after 3 years of studying.  I am committed to ongoing professional development.

I worked for 5 years at a local voluntary counselling agency, and saw many clients for both short term and long term work.

I previously worked for an Employee Assistance Programme as a telephone counsellor, dealing with a wide range of workplace issues.

I engage in ongoing professional development, including weekly appointments with a supervisor to talk about the work.  I follow the BACP Code of Ethics (a copy can be found on their site) and am subject to their complaint procedures. 

I gained a certificate in working with people from sexual minorities from Pink Therapy in 2006. 

I have worked with clients who are dealing with bereavement, a lack of meaning in their lives, eating disorders, identity issues, depression, issues around sexuality, relationship issues, anxiety, substance abuse, learning disability, family issues, difficulties at work, a lack of direction etc.
