I offer presentations and/or workshops on a wide range of topics relevant to counselling practice. These can be either via Zoom or face-to-face. The most popular include: 

• Working with risk
• Working with loss
• Mental health and mental illness
• Suicidal ideation
• Getting the best from clinical supervision
• Values, principles and ethics
• Self evaluation
• Professional standards

I was a full-time lecturer in counselling for 25 years and delivered the BACP Approved route to registration so I have a MEd, TQFE and am registered with the General Teaching Council in addition to my counselling qualifications. I used to deliver the BACP Professional Development Day (PDD) workshop on Suicide and Suicidal Ideation.

I have also written text books, counselling qualifications and was honoured to sit on the QAA panel for writing the counselling benchmark statement in 2022.

I qualified as a mental health nurse in 1987 and completed my counselling training in 1993. I've worked as a counsellor and clinical supervisor in posts within the NHS, colleges, private practice and charitable organisations.

I currently have availability on a Monday and Tuesday.

I'm an experienced BACP accredited counsellor having been in practice for 30 years. I've also spent many years supporting counsellors within their practice and trainees throughout their training.
