Training, qualifications and experience

​​

I have an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling from The Minster Centre, a training that was five years in length. 

​

I have worked in charity and NHS settings as a therapist. The last NHS post I held was at The Tavistock and Portman Hospital London in a service for clients experiencing long-term emotional and physical health concerns.  

​​​​​​

Before becoming a therapist, I was an experienced registered nurse and health visitor. As such, I have vast experience working with all age groups and their short—and long-term physical and mental health needs.  

​​

I specialised in mental health for parents of young children.

​

I have worked extensively with older adolescents who have emotional difficulties.

​​​​​​

I have an enhanced DBS certificate (Disclosure and Barring service)

​​

I am committed to my ongoing learning and development as a therapist. I have weekly clinical supervision with a registered clinical supervisor and am engaged in ongoing professional education.
