Prior to training as a counsellor I worked as an English teacher. My first job as a counsellor was in a further education college as a student counsellor. I did this for seven years, initially as a counsellor only, and then later as head of the counselling service, organising and managing the service at the same time as providing counselling myself.
In 2002 I started working independently in private practice and gradually built up and established my practice. With time I decided to do some further training in order to qualify as a psychotherapist.
Qualifications
- Diploma in Gestalt Counselling
- Diploma in Gestalt Psychotherapy
- UKCP registration
My work is supported by clinical supervision and continuous professional development.
