About me and my therapy practice
Thank you for taking an interest in my profile.
My professional background so you can decide if I am right for you. Well I am passionate about counselling I love my work and feel a great sense of loyalty to work as hard as I can to help my patients. I have regular continued professional development to keep my skills honed to the best they can be. I thoroughly enjoy my supervision as that helps me to be a better counsellor and keeps you safe as my work is checked.
I am a fully professionally BACP Accredited counsellor in private practice since 2008 working with a diverse range of people with varied concerns short term and long term . I am also a supervisor in private practice for the work of other counsellors in many various counselling settings/companies e.g Mind and Demelza and with different competencies. I have also worked as a covering lecturer on the Masters Programme in Counselling at the University of Greenwich for one year which meant I was teaching and marking masters level counselling training.
Before private practice I was employed to supervise the work of trainee counsellors and mentors Listening Ear Group and Care Leaver Mentors in a University and worked in many voluntary organisations. I also currently supervise a crisis team to support them with their psychological well being.
Working with diverse people in higher education, Cruse bereavement agency and employee assistant plans and in private counselling practice I have been enriched by comments that I am easy to talk to and genuinely care about people.

About me and my therapy practice
I am an experienced supervisor. I was trained at Cascades Training Associates in 2011. I currently work with Fully trained counsellors in private practice and in Organisational settings plus I also have a caseload of student counsellors on placements. Counsellors have found my supervision 'helpful and professional’; I have worked as a Lecturer at the University of Greenwich employed to cover, case discussion groups and experiential groups I have also been involved in ; working in a University Setting supervising staff. The staff work with mature students and my role was to oversee that work. Mentoring and Supervision of; staff was given through group discussion and presentations and one to one monthly supervision. The staff were mainly working with student concerns, complaints, stress and mental health concerns in a Listening Ear role one to one with students; and a Staff Care Leaver support role one to one. I enjoy Supervising Counsellors just as much; I enjoy receiving good Supervision to enrich; educate and mainly to keep my clients safe.Practice description
