I originally trained as an integrative counsellor which enabled me to gain a knowledge of different modalities and how these can be used in order to be able to meet the individual needs of my clients. Since that time I have added other courses to my qualifications including becoming a clinical supervisor and recently completing a research paper on working with suicidal clients. I primarily work in a client centred manner while retaining an understanding of other counselling modalities which means that I always aim to ensure my clients needs and wishes are paramount in the work that we do together. I believe this enables me to create a safe space for my clients where they feel able to relax and enter into the therapeutic relationship.
I have been working for a number of years as a counsellor both in private practice and for different organisations and charities. This includes working in schools with young people, delivering therapy through EAP organisations and working for the rape centre. These experiences have enabled me to develop a knowledge of a number of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, PTSD and trauma.
