Training, qualifications & experience

I am a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Registered Counsellor/Psychotherapist MBACP.

Experience:

My clients are as varied as the circumstance they bring. These include those who feel anxiety, anger, confusion or depression. They may have low self-esteem or feel lost or invisible. They may have conflicting responsibilities (such as being a carer). They may be grieving (the loss of a loved one, a relationship, their younger self or direction) or if, they have received a difficult diagnosis, they may be faced with a changed future.

Prior to private practice, I have worked at a charity for carers, a large hospice based in Somerset, and a relationship charity.
