I am a qualified and professional counsellor and Cognitive Therapist and hold a Diploma and Masters degree in Counselling. I have been practising for 15 years and also work as a counselling consultant and trainer.
I am an accredited member of The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (www.bacp.co.uk) and Association of Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO www.acto-uk.org .and work within the ethical framework of those organisations.
As well as working one to one with people, I am experienced as a telephone counsellor and have qualifications in on-line counselling. For further information about online counselling, please see my page where I explain more about how that might work.
Other information:
For five years I was an NHS Counsellor working in GP Surgeries. I have also worked with Cruse Bereavement Care, Women's Aid, and Age Concern, as well as a number of other national and local charities and organisations. With extensive experience of telephone counselling and a trained online counsellor using the internet, I have a strong interest in both these forms of counselling and the opportunities and flexibility that working in this way gives both my clients and myself.
