About Me

I am a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists and hold a valid DBS and professional indemnity insurance. I have a background in teaching that continues to contribute to my client work.   

I hold a BSc in Psychology from the University of Leicester (2000), a Post Graduate Certificate in Education from the University of Leeds (2002), a Post Graduate Certificate in Interpersonal and Counselling Skills (2019) and a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy (2021) from Leeds Beckett University. Additionally, I have trained with organisations such as Bradford Bereavement Service, Cruse, Sue Ryder and Mind.

As the relationship becomes established, clients sometimes wish to bring personal documents to demonstrate their world view, such as photographs and family trees.  Other clients might wish to express themselves by drawing diagrams in the session or using metaphors to describe their thoughts, feelings and experiences. Everything you bring is treated with the greatest respect.
